Hi, According to our knowledge base, I cannot find any information related to Event ID 12327, but Event ID 12317. If the Event ID you encountered is 12317, to resolve this problem, you must add the Authenticated Users group to the Users group of the domain. You must do this on the domain controller. To do this, follow these steps. Important: You must have domain administrative credentials to follow these steps. 1. On the domain controller, click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Users and Computers. 2. Expand DomainName, click Builtin, right-click Users, and then click Properties. 3. Click the Members tab, and then add the Authenticated Users group to the Members list. 4. Click OK.
