Connecting Issues to Server "Logon Failure: The target account name is incorrect"
As of yesterday, users are having issues trying to connect to the network via the network name. If you type in \\servername or try to open a mapped network drive, you cannot connect but it will work with the IP address. This is happening on Windows XP and 7 machines and the server is a Windows 2008 R2.
Sometimes if you don't do anything, after time it will start working again be itself. Otherwise as of right now if I flush the DNS, register the DNS, and reboot the computer, that will usually fix the problem. It happens to random people at random times.
Any ideas what I can do to fix this? Let me know if you have any questions...thanks!

The IP address is DHCP but I don't know how to check the setting you are asking about...where in DNS or DHCP do I check these settings?

Hey Experts,
This issue happened to me this morning and I went and took a look at the event viewer and this is what is showing right before I rebooting to fix it:
The Kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server n05$. The target name used was cifs/n05.NC.com. This indicates that the target server failed to decrypt the ticket provided by the client. This can occur when the target server principal name (SPN) is registered on an account other than the account the target service is using. Please ensure that the target SPN is registered on, and only registered on, the account used by the server. This error can also happen when the target service is using a different password for the target service account than what the Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) has for the target service account. Please ensure that the service on the server and the KDC are both updated to use the current password. If the server name is not fully qualified, and the target domain (NC.COM) is different from the client domain (NC.COM), check if there are identically named server accounts in these two domains, or use the fully-qualified name to identify the server.

Does this help?

I have done what you suggested and the issues seems to have gone away...I can't pin point what fixed it so I will split points! Thanks!
1. Is the IP configured thorough DHCP server, if yes then what it the lease period time.
2. check the DNS scavenging time.
3. check the DNS server if multiple A records are created against systems
