I am new to this mailing list and I am definitely a novice in
comparison so forgive my ignorance. I am receiving tons of 13508,
13562, and 3034 event log errors on one of my domain controllers. I
found that I was receiving access denied errors when trying to
replicate by using dcdiag or one of those many admin tools. I think it
might have something to do with the fact that we renamed the
administrator account to Rick James out of fear that one of the
students obtained the domain admin credentials. I tried to use the
netdom utility to reset the computer account password on the PDC
emulator as stated in the Active Directory Operations guide only to get
errors, ie
netdom resetpwd /server:<PDC emulator name>
/userid:<domain>\administrator /password:*
I am unable to put Rick James where administrator is because to me, it
doesn't seem to know how to treat the space between Rick and James. I
am starting to wonder if I am on the right track at all and also scared
of renaming the domain admin account ever again. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
