UNC path logon failure: The target account name is incorrect

Hi

The setup at the customer:
There are 7 sites. 6 of them have at least one DC/GC server. A mix of W2K, W2K3, W2K8
Site 1:
Milano: W2K --> DC/GC
Berlin: W2K3 --> DC/GC, Exchange and Holds all the FSMO roles
Verona: W2K --> DC/GC

Site 2:
Bari: W2K3 --> DC/GC, Exchange
NewYork: W2K --> DC/GC

Site 3:
Madrid: W2K8 R2 --> DC/GC

Site 4:
Faro: W2K3 --> DC/GC

Site 5:
Napoli:  W2K8 R2 --> DC/GC

Site 6:
no servers

Site 7:
Boston: W2K --> DC/GC
Chicago: W2K --> DC/GC

All the sites are directly connected with each other however I think that there are also site link bridges setup. I must admit that i'm not that familiar with sites and replications.

The problem we have now is:
From all the sites we can connect to \\bari but from Site 2, where Bari sits, we cannot and receive the error logon failure: The target account name is incorrect.
Connecting to IP address does work. Ping -a and nslookup resolves correctly.


Plz help.
Thx

Have you done a DCdiag and checked the replication?

For more information you can check System event logs for Netlogon warnings and errors. Something like "Netlogon Event ID 5719"
Seems ok.

Wow. Great info guys. I love this website. It's such a big help.

UNC path access and the mail flow is working again. However I'm not sure that my replication errors are gone.

Dcdiag output for Bari and Newyork attached.
