SMS: The SMSCliToknAcct& Account May Be Locked Out (299352)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0
This article was previously published under Q299352

SYMPTOMS

The SMSCliToknAcct& account may be locked out on any server that functions as a Client Access Point (CAP). If security auditing is turned on, the Security event log may show unsuccessful logon attempts, and may show account lock-outs with event IDs 529 and 539.

CAUSE

This problem may occur because SMS clients may sometimes try to connect to CAPs by using their local SMSCliToknAcct& account. If the domain or server has a lockout policy in use, the domain or server SMSCliToknAcct& account is locked out. This prevents Software Distribution from working on domain controllers or servers that are CAPs.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
