Question

Failure Audit Event ID 537

Asked by: Bitadmin


My Situation:
My Situation
Domain Server:  Windows server 2003 for Small Business Server Service Pack 2
Intel Xeon CPU 2.80Ghz and 3.62GB of Ram 1 Application server and


Windows XP Professional version 2002 Service Pack 3
Intel Pentium processor 2.80ghz and 1GB of ram
Intel(R) Pro/100 VE Network Card
I connect to company domain via Linksys workgroup switch.


Everyday for past month I get up to 98 occurrences of Event ID 537 and Event ID 529 see

below.  ID-537 is always from my login ID-529 is from several different logins.  I can log

into the network ok but after I've been on for 1-2 hours I begin loosing network

connectivity and the internet hangs or stops alltogether.  I have 13 other users on this

network and none are having this problem.  

Normally I have my workstation plugged into a workgroup switch which is shared by a unix

box.  I tried plugging the network cable directly into the wall port but same thing

happens. Can you tell me how to 1) find out what is causing this.  2) stop it from

happeninng?  3) fix the problem?

I've pasted event log entries below:

could i help you?

 

by: BitadminPosted on 2009-07-08 at 06:25:42ID: 24803461

Awawada,
Thanks for reply each link gave several possibilities and I had to read/try each one.  Unfortunately none worked/applied to my situation.  The 529/537 events occurr when I'm logged into the computer.   I suspect its some type of malware program because when my pc is turned off I do not get any of these in the event log.  Both the links state that the solution is to install the latest sp for windows server 2003 and XP professional.  I already have the latest sp for each installed.  Would appreciate any other suggestions as to how to track down the cause/fix for this.  Please let me know if any additional information about the problem is needed.

Thanks awawada.  I have already tried several antivirus/malware tools but found nothing.  Since this is our main domain server I have to schedule saturday to work so as not to disturb other employees.  will post next week as this saturday was available.  Thanks for your help.

sorry I will try some of the links you gave above to see if they catch anything.  Thanks again
