Event ID 27 Source KDC

Hi there

We have 2 DCs, one running 2008 and the other 2003

We keep getting these event ID 27 errors on DC2 everyday

All i can establish is the machines and users in question are the ones using VISTA or Windows 7

Any ideas how i can sort this?

yes i have read that before, but it doesnt really provide a solution of what to do if the certificates are there, which i think in my case they are
Reason:

The Windows Server 2008 member server is sending a TGS request using  the encryption
type of 18 (AES). Windows Server 2003 does not support this  encryption type for
Kerberos.

Resolution

The Event ID 27  error that is being logged on the Windows Server 2003 domain
controller can  safely be ignored as it is by design. The domain controller is just  
informing the client what encryption types it supports. The Windows Server  2008
servers are then falling back to one of the supported encryption types.  
It is possible to modify the default encryption type that Windows Server  2008 uses.
This will prevent the error from being logged on the Windows  Server 2003 domain
controller. You will have to add the following registry  value to the Windows Server
2008 servers.  

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA\Kerberos\Parameters
Value  Name: DefaultEncryptionType
Value Type: Reg_DWORD
Value Data: 0x17(23)
