Have you tried it with the samaccountname attribute (the pre-windows2000 name of the account which won't have spaces) and received the same results?
As for the reasons of replication problems, what drove you to reset the computer account? Can you give us a background on the steps taken to date that led you there and include the errors received? I'm wondering about DCDIAG and NETDIAG outputs as well as what else has changed besides the account name. Even log details would be helpful as well. Al -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Orlando Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 2004 10:12 AM To: Active Directory Mailing List Subject: [ActiveDir] Access Denied causing replication errors 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.
