Dave Lum - Systems Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] - (971)-222-1025 "..remember that, in the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside" - JFK From: James Rankin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2008 7:05 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Strange event viewer error I have service accounts and what not sat in a different OU, but I have no permissions applied to the OUs - that I know of, will have a check, thanks 2008/7/22 Miller Bonnie L. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>>: I've seen that error before, but not with the part you have that says "a possible attempt to compromise security". In our case, it is because the computer account is in a location in AD where it does not have enough rights to read its own account information (can also happen to user accounts). Adding permissions will always resolve it for us. Do you have a setup like ours where you move important accounts to a locked-down location in your AD? -Bonnie From: James Rankin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>] Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2008 5:51 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Strange event viewer error As in my first post, this is the error, 1053 in the application log from source Userenv Windows cannot determine the user or computer name. (The system detected a possible attempt to compromise security. Please ensure that you can contact the server that authenticated you. ). Group Policy processing aborted.

From: James Rankin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>] Sent: 22 July 2008 13:23 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Strange event viewer error No useful information on there unfortunately. Lots of weird and wonderful solutions though, none of which seem to apply to my situation. I was just wondering if anyone had seen it before under similar circumstances and might be able to give me some pointers. 2008/7/22 Kelsay, Mark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>>: Have you looked it up on www.eventid.net<http://www.eventid.net>? I find this to be a valuable resource. Mark From: James Rankin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>] Sent: 22 July 2008 08:58 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Strange event viewer error Does anyone know what might be causing event id 1053 in my application log on one particular server? Operations Manager is going berserk about it and I am wondering whether it is anything to worry about. The server in question is a Windows 2003 SP2 member server running some database applications that interact with a Sun server, occasionally the server is under heavy load but nothing too far off the map. The event id text is "Windows cannot determine the user or computer name. (The system detected a possible attempt to compromise security. Please ensure that you can contact the server that authenticated you. ). Group Policy processing aborted." Any pointers would be appreciated, Google indicated some possible issues with handle leaks but there are none on the system.
