please consider resetting the password of the account mentioned above. How could I solve this? Wednesday, September 12, 2012 1:07 PM Reply | Quote Answers 0 Sign in to vote Hi, Error ID 12294 means there are numerous failure authentication events in security log due to incorrect credentials or could be a virus issue. As you have changed the built-indomain Administrator password then ensure that the credentials are updated everywhere. e.g. for service account, IIS application pool, account tied to a scheduled task, virtual machine, mapped drice, etc... If you have already verified the the old Administrator credentials areupdatetd everywhere then the reason for event 12294 is worm virus and you need to full virus scan and Malicious Software Removal tool Virus to remove the Win32/Conficker malware family.

your account only takes a few minutes. Join Now I'm getting the above error in the System log for the Administrator account. The details for the error is at the bottom. The error seems to be happening at random times, some times just one error, sometimes https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/198064-random-sam-12294-errors-sbs-2003random-sam12294-errors 4-5 errors in a row. I've looked for failed login attempts and there are very few and none of the line up with the timing of the SAM error. For that matter I've compared the Sys, App, and Sec logs for things that http://kb.eventtracker.com/evtpass/evtPages/EventId_12294_SAM_45471.asp were happening at the same time but nothing stands out. I had given up on the issue and just assumed it was a service or something that had a bad password but recently I used software to move the server to a test environment, and after playing with event id it I realized the error had gone away, which tells me something external is causing the error, which scares me a bit. I don't know what other things to do to troubleshoot and would really appreciate any advice on where to go from here.

Feb 10, 2012 at 1:57 UTC Maybe there is a service that is randomly trying to start that is using old credentials for Administrator? 0 Serrano OP Sean_K Feb 10, 2012 at 2:38 UTC Thank you for the quick reply Chris, I thought the same thing, but when I made the test environment the problem went away (it is a mirror of the server, just in an isolated network), so I don't think it is a local problem. Any ideas on how to find out what exactly is causing the lockout, maybe some type of monitor software. 0 Datil OP kevinroyalty-sbs_mvp Feb 10, 2012 at 3:28 UTC Total Care Computer Consulting, LLC is an IT service provider. i suspect either you have 3389 open on your firewall direct to your SBS server, or someone is knocking on your outlook web access trying to log in as administrator. that's usually what i find when i peruse the logs. you'll see other usernames in the event logs for the same event id. tons in a short time means a "Script kiddie" is trying dictionary attacks with usernames and common passwords. you can rename y
of bad passwords are provided so please consider resetting the password of the account mentioned above. Data: 0000: c00002a5 Event InformationAccording to Microsoft:CAUSE:This issue may occur when a computer on your network is infected with the W32.Randex.F worm or with a variant of it.RESOLUTION:To resolve this issue, run a complete virus scan on your network using the latest available virus definitions. Use the scan to remove the W32.Randex.F worm. For information about how to perform a virus scan or how to obtain the latest virus definitions, see your antivirus software documentation, or contact the manufacturer. According to News Group :From a Usenet post: "Think I have sorted this problem, one of our servers has a different Local Administrator password, compared to Domain Administrator, because all services on that server use the local Admin account. I don't know what services require the domain wide account, but setting them the same has fixed all problems."--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Log onto the affected Domain Controller and check failure audits in Security log. In my case I found eight PCs affecting our DC. I forced shutdown them and the attacks stopped. The PCs were taken off domain and reinstalled to ensure no virusses. All was fine after that.In our case, these errors occurred because of an FTP dictionary attack in which the attacker was attempting to logon to our FTP servers as Administrator. For each one of these entries on our Domain Controller there was a corresponding entry in our Microsoft FTP log files.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From a newsgroup post: "The administrator account is not subject to lockout. You need to examine the client machine(s) where the bad logon requests are originating, and then find the user or application that is using the wrong password. Sometimes the name of the account can help. For instance, if the account name is the name of a service account, then you can be reasonably certain that you are looking for a miss-configured service. The "workstation" field in the logon audits tells you where the logon request originated".
