I have inherited a 2003 domain that was migrated from SBS. &nbsp;At present the domain has 2 DC's one of which is also an exchange server. &nbsp;I am in the process of introducing 2 new DC's to replace the exisiting two but on the new DC I have put in, on reboot I get KDC error event id: 7<br />
<br />
The Security Account Manager failed a KDC request in an unexpected way. The error is in the data field. The account name was &lt;computer name&gt; and lookup type 0x8.<br />

Other than that this is not logged, only on reboot.

KDC errors on server reboot

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
