SYMPTOMS

In a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 domain, event ID messages that are associated with account logon failures may be repeatedly logged to the security event log on domain controllers. For example, the following event message is repeatedly logged on Microsoft Windows 2000-based domain controllers: Type: Failure Audit
Source: Security
Event Category: Account Logon
Event ID: 677
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Description: Service Ticket Request Failed:
User Name: UserName
User Domain: DomainName
Service Name: ServiceName
Ticket Options: 0x40830000
Failure Code: 0xE
Client Address: IPAddress


The following event message is repeatedly logged on Windows Server 2003-based domain controllers: Type: Failure Audit
Source: Security Event
Category: Account Logon
Event ID: 673
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Description: Service Ticket Request:
User Name: UserName
Domain: DomainName
Service Name: ServiceName
Service ID: ServiceName
Ticket Options: 0x40830000
Ticket Encryption Type: TicketEncryptionType
Client Address: IPAddress
Failure Code: 0xD
Logon GUID: GUID
Transited Services: ServiceName


CAUSE

This problem occurs because the Kerberos client on Windows 2000-based computers and on Windows Server 2003-based computers examines the Key Distribution Center (KDC) at set intervals to verify that the Service-for-User (S4U) Kerberos extension is supported. By default, the Kerberos client examines the KDC every 15 minutes. Because Windows 2000 does not support the S4U Kerberos extension, event ID 677 messages are logged to the security event log of a Windows 2000 domain controller. In Windows Server 2003, event ID 673 messages are logged to the security event log if the S4U Kerberos extension is not configured. To use the S4U Kerberos extension, you must have a Windows Server 2003 native domain, and you must configure the appropriate computer accounts for constrained delegation.

RESOLUTION

This hotfix suppresses Event ID 677 and Event ID 673 in this context.

Windows Server 2003

WORKAROUND

Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To work around this problem and to reduce the frequency of event ID 677 and event ID 673 event messages, increase the S4U cache timeout value in the Kerberos client on computers that are running Windows Server 2003:

  1. On a computer that is running Windows Server 2003, click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
  2. Locate and then click the following registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Kerberos\Parameters

  3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
  4. Type S4UCacheTimeout, and then press ENTER.
  5. In the Value data box, type the number of minutes that you want to specify for the timeout value, and then click OK.

    Note By default, the S4U cache timeout value is 15 minutes.
  6. Quit Registry Editor.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

MORE INFORMATION

Windows Server 2003 introduces support for constrained delegation in the Service-for-User-to-Proxy (S4U2Proxy) extension to Kerberos. By using the S4U2Proxy extension, a service can obtain tickets to another service for a user. For more information about S4U Kerberos extensions, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
