Question : LSASRV Event Log errors, EventID 40960

On our member server (not a DC just fileserv'ing), just started getting some LSASRV 40960 errors in the event log:
=====
The Security System detected an authentication error for the server cifs/.  The failure code from authentication protocol Kerberos was "The attempted logon is invalid. This is either due to a bad username or authentication information.
 (0xc000006d)".
=====
It's happening every hour or so and there is a seperate entry in this file servers log for each DC in the forest, including the DC in our child domain.

The domain admin password was changed recently so i THINK it has something to do with this, if that's the cause then i can't figure out what app or service on this server is trying to authenticate with the old password.

Any ideas on which service/app is causing this and how i can update the credentials its using or even if this is the cause?

On the actual DC it doesn't have this issue.

Answer : LSASRV Event Log errors, EventID 40960

Thanks Dan, i had already read that but none of it applied to my situtation.. until i reread it again now and the last entry:

Chris Turnbull  (Last update 4/26/2007):
- Error code: 0xc000006d - In our case, the problem was caused by one of our administrators that had logged on, locked the server at the console, and then changed his domain password the following day. Once he logged off the error stopped appearing.

I checked and i had left the Domain Admin logged in on the console, logged in with the old pwd and logged it off, will see if the error stops coming up.. i think this will fix it though!

Thanks :D
