Failed kerberos service ticket request
I just started receiving an error message on a primary domain controller (PDC):

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Event Type:      Failure Audit
Event Source:      Security
Event Category:      Account Logon
Event ID:      673
Date:            8/6/2010

This error only occurs immediately after pressing the "Find now" button to search for emails in the Message Tracking Center in Exchange System Manager.  Exchange System Manager is installed on an administration machine (admin1) for remote administration of exchange.

In the example above the User Name is the name of our exchange server, the service name is the name of the user logged on at the remote administration machine (admin1).  

Performing the same thing on the exchange server itself doesn't cause the error above to occur on the PDC.  

Exchange server is running Exchange 2003
Remote admin client is Windows XP
PDC is Windows 2003 server

This error doesn't actually affect the message tracking process and the messages are displayed after clicking the "Find Now" button.  However, I just wondering why this is occurring?

As far as I know that error event is becasue of Kerberos ticket has expired.  It's not really a security issue unless you have a failed logon attempt with an actual user name.

This article explains how Kerberos works in the Windows environment and how to understand the cryptic codes your find in the security log

The failure code 0x1B is not a kerberos ticket expiration.  A failure code of 0x20 is.

I'm not really worried about it being a security event I'm just trying to find out why it has started occurring.  This didn't use to happen on this machine.

Is this issue only with admin1 machine ?
did you tried to restart admin1 and then check if the issue reproduces or not ?
Also could you check with some other account other than test1
