From time to time when using the repadmin utility “repadmin /replsum” you may come across the following error
1396 logon failure: The target account name is incorrect.

To fix this issue I have followed this precedure.

Stop the KDC service and set the service to manual
Restart your server
Start the KDC Service and set the service back to automatic

Open a command prompt and run the following commands ( You should use a Domain Admins Account)

netdom resetpwd /server: (replication partner) /userd:\ /
passwordd:”enter password”

Once this has run you should see the following message.

The machine account password for the local machine has been successfully reset.

The command completed successfully.

Reboot your Server.

Finally use repadmin to check the issue has been resolved.

Repadmin /replsum to make sure the secure channel has been fixed

I hope this has helped, and thanks to Sean.

I like many others have been following Ivy Bean on Twitter since she hit the news as the oldest person to be using the twitter service.

Ivy’s biggest fan was Peter Andre who she met a couple of times and also spoke on the phone.

We all knew that Ivy has not been well for the past couple of weeks, and Pat from the Nursing home has been keeping all Ivy’s fans update. I was very saddened to read the updates from Pat this morning which read :-

Rest in Peace ivy we will miss you.
