4311.0. "Session Setup for PW server Failed to Authenticate" by VMSNET::DMCFARLAND (still TurboMom[tm]...) Fri May 30 1997 18:26

    I am bain-dread at this point and need some help.  This may not be
    the correct notes conference, but I haven't gotten anything else
    right today, either...
    
    PW v5.0c eco3 server (yes, it needs upgrading (but this was working
    previously...) that is a BDC in a domain with WNT 4.0 as PDC.
    
    The WNT Event Log is getting messages every few minutes.
    
    
    Event ID: 5722 from Source Netlogon
    
    The session setup from the computer WSA146 failed to authenticate. The
    name of the account referenced in the security database is WSA146.  The
    following error occurred: 
    Access is denied.
    
    
    If I try to sync the domain, the same message gets sent to the WNT
    Event Log.  I found an earlier problem that PWRK$DEFAULT was disusered.
    I set that to nodisuser nopassword nopwdexp.  Not sure if all that was 
    necessary.  However, before I did this, the WNT Server Manager showed
    the PW server--but it was grayed out.  After I "fixed" PWRK$DEFAULT,
    now the PW server icon shows the proper color...but if I try to sync
    the domain the above error occurs.
    
    My thoughts...is this a password or permissions problem for the 
    account for the PW server (account WSA146)?  I set the password for
    it on the WNT machine, but could not set it on the PW server.  I get
    a "SYS0059I: An unexpected network error occurred" when I try.
    
    Suggestions, please!
    
    Many thanx in advance,
    Diane

    Diane,
    
    I think you're on the right course - setting the password of the
    machine (wsa146) account on both systems.  To set it on the BDC,
    however, you'd normally need to get it's role to standalone first
    (otherwise, LANMAN will want to update the UAS/SAM on the PDC).
    
    But just use the lmuser utility to set the password on the bdc:
    
    $ @sys$startup:pwrk$define_commands
    $ lmuser -mp <pswd> wsa146     ! NO quotes necessary around <pswd>
    
    Let us know what how you make out...
