Multiple 677 Event IDs May Fill Up Event Logs (302879)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Server SP1
  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Server SP2
  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP1
  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP2

SYMPTOMS

Windows 2000 attempts Kerberos (pass-through) authentication to the trusted Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 domains when Windows 2000 users need access to Windows NT 4.0 resources. The initial attempt and its associated service ticket request do not work because Windows NT 4.0 does not support Kerberos. When this failure occurs, it is logged as an Event ID 677 in the Security log as a failure event, and the NTLM authentication package is then used for authentication.
