I checked the KB article, and followed its advice.  My machines were already
configured properly, according to this article.

I did however note that if I restarted the computers in question, at least
for a while, the message goes away.  I rebooted both of my "problem"
machines around 9:00 EDT yesterday and (as yet) have not seen the event ID
re-occur.

Just FYI...

Kevin

I know, I've seen this on other servers as well.

Maybe :-)

This is from eventid.net:
http://www.eventid.net/display.asp?eventid=3224&source=netlogon
It points us to this Knowledgebase article:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;259736#appliesto

If you got time, can you test the solution described there tomorrow (or
today depending on when you read this)?

PS: To the sambaproject: How about creating a WIKI for this kind of info
hosted on samba.org?

Maybe with both your information and mine, something will pop-out in the
Coder's mind or someone else who has been having the same issue.

While looking through my logs this morning, I came across this exact same
error in at least two of my machines (I'm trolling through the others now).
The two machines in question have been reporting this error message every 4
hours (approx.) since the first week of the month.

> b)  The computer seems to work for now,

Both of the machines are working fine (at the moment).

Well, mine have been like this for nearly a month now.  Not saying they
won't die today, but at least they have that long.

> successfully changed the password as well? 

I think this is an automated process that neither an admin nor Samba can
control.

FYI, my setup is like this:

Samba 3.0.2 PDC with LDAP password backend.
Workstations are 99% Windows 2000 Pro w/SP4 (I do have one Windows 98SE box
and 2 Windows XP Pro w/SP1 machines floating around).

One of the machines in question is running Windows 2000, the other (mine) is
running Windows XP.

What kind of information would the Devel. Team need to solve this?  Since it
seems to happen about every 4 hours I could run a level 10 log for my
machine and try to capture it.  Would that help?

[Samba] Enventid 3224: Errors in chaning machine password.

2004-04-27 Thread Tarjei Huse
Hi, 
I got a problem using Samba 3.0.2a w Openldap as passwordstore. When my
machines tries to reset their machinepasswords, they report the
following error:

Eventid: 3224 : stub contained bad data while trying to change the
machine password. 
(please relate to the eventid as the text has been partly translated
from norwegian)

What I am wondering about is the following:
a) Has anyone else experienced errors like this one on ther network and
found a solution?

b)  The computer seems to work for now, but I wonder ho long it will go
on without beeing able to change it's machinepassword.

c) Is it possible to have the machine log when it has successfully
changed the password as well? 


Many thanks for any tips and hints on this.
Tarjei
