| Hello all,
Over the past couple weeks, I've seen several workstations showing the same errors in the system event log of the workstation. This is the error...
Source: Kerberos - EventID: 4 The kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server host/printserver.appsig.com. This indicates that the password used to encrypt the kerberos service ticket is different than that on the target server. Commonly, this is due to identically named machine accounts in the target realm (APPSIG.COM), and the client realm. Please contact your system administrator.
When I check the system event logs on the print server, I only see two entries in the event logs for a similar Kerberos error pointing back to two separate workstations. However there are definitely more workstations than just the two with these errors.
As for the workstations that are experiencing this error, they seem to generate this error in the event logs somewhere between 1 and 4 times a day at random time intervals. They all are having an issue with this particular print server which has been in operation for a little over a year. They also don't appear to be having any sort of loss of functionality as a result of these errors.
The print server is a Windows Server 2003 R2 machine and the workstations are Windows XP.
Any thoughts?

| Hi Al,
Yes, I should have mentioned that. I did look through the posts there and found none that seemed appropriate. Most of the posts seemed to run along the lines of the target machine being clustered (the print server is not clustered), a HOSTS file issue, or DNS. None of which are an issue with either the workstations or the print server.
Also, I am working in a single domain, single forest environment.
Thanks!
~Ben

| You may dump all SPN’s from your workstation with
a) "cscript spnquery.vbs * domain.com > C:\spndump.txt"
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/solutions/spnquery.mspx
b) ldifde –s gcname –f C:\spndump.txt –r "(serviceprincipalname=*)" -l serviceprincipalname
c) adfind -gc -b "" -f "servicePrincipalName=*"
I don’t have an AD in my hands right now, so I might have forgotten something…

Did you verify no duplicate SPN's as well as no duplicate name resolution entries for all types of name resolution?

Hi Al,
Yes, I should have mentioned that. I did look through the posts there and found none that seemed appropriate. Most of the posts seemed to run along the lines of the target machine being clustered (the print server is not clustered), a HOSTS file issue, or DNS. None of which are an issue with either the workstations or the print server.
Also, I am working in a single domain, single forest environment.
Thanks!

Hello all,
Over the past couple weeks, I've seen several workstations showing the same errors in the system event log of the workstation. This is the error...
Source: Kerberos - EventID: 4 The kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server host/printserver.appsig.com <http://printserver.appsig.com/> . This indicates that the password used to encrypt the kerberos service ticket is different than that on the target server. Commonly, this is due to identically named machine accounts in the target realm (APPSIG.COM <http://appsig.com/> ), and the client realm. Please contact your system administrator.
When I check the system event logs on the print server, I only see two entries in the event logs for a similar Kerberos error pointing back to two separate workstations. However there are definitely more workstations than just the two with these errors.
As for the workstations that are experiencing this error, they seem to generate this error in the event logs somewhere between 1 and 4 times a day at random time intervals. They all are having an issue with this particular print server which has been in operation for a little over a year. They also don't appear to be having any sort of loss of functionality as a result of these errors.
The print server is a Windows Server 2003 R2 machine and the workstations are Windows XP.
Any thoughts?

| This should be easier than that though. It is very likely that there IS a duplicate SPN here. A simple search forest wide for: (servicePrincipalName=HOST/printserver.appsig.com) should return more than one object. Once the objects are identified, the key is to decide which one is the correct one and remove the SPN from the other account or delete the object if it is not needed.
It is possible that there is a DNS alias here that might be causing the problem. Doing an nslookup on printserver.appsig.com might yield something useful, but I'm guessing that probably isn't it. The other key thing is that if that DNS name points to an IP address that is load balanced, then that is likely the source of the problem (doesn't have to be clustering per say; just more than one service instance behind the same DNS name).

You may dump all SPN’s from your workstation with
a) "cscript spnquery.vbs * domain.com > C:\spndump.txt" http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/solutions/spnquery.mspx
b) ldifde –s gcname –f C:\spndump.txt –r "(serviceprincipalname=*)" -l serviceprincipalname
c) adfind -gc -b "" -f "servicePrincipalName=*"
I don’t have an AD in my hands right now, so I might have forgotten something…

I'm experiencing a similar issue and was curious how can one check ( LDP.exe ?) for duplicate SPN's ? On Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 1:24 PM, Al Mulnick <amulnick@gmail.com> wrote: Then I wonder if a trace would be helpful? From the client view point.
