Kerberos Error When Connecting to Shares
I have a server running Windows Server 2003 SP2 which has several directories shared over the network. The permissions on the share allow the 'Everyone' group to Read the share. I have a desktop running Windows 7 from which I had no problem accessing the shared directory until about a week ago. About a week ago I suddenly lost access to the share. There were no changes to either system at the time which I am aware of. I tried accessing the share from some other systems on the network, and it appears that I can access it from Windows XP and Windows Vista systems, but not from any Windows 7 systems. When I attempt to access the share, I get a 'Windows Security' popup which asks me to enter a Username and Password. If I enter the Username and Password, the window disappears briefly and then reappears asking for a Username and Password again. No errors are reported on the client system. If I try to access the share with an IP Address instead of the host name, it immediately opens the share without asking for a Username or Password. I checked the event log on the server and I found that when I attempt to connect to the share, the following error is logged to the Security event log about thirty times: Logon Failure: Reason: An error occurred during logon User Name: Domain: Logon Type: 3 Logon Process: Kerberos Authentication Package: Kerberos Workstation Name: - Status code: 0xC000006D Substatus code: 0x8009030E Caller User Name: - Caller Domain: - Caller Logon ID: -< Caller Process ID: - Transited Services: - Source Network Address: 149.59.202.144 Source Port: 51734 For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. I've tried restarting both servers and I've tried deleting the share and recreating it, neither of which resolved the problem. How can I fix this problem and begin accessing the share again as i was up until two weeks ago?

Hi, Many network services, including Kerberos authentication are dependent on time synchronization throughout the domain. You can manually synchronize a computer with the time in the domain. To synchronize the computer's time with the current time in the domain: 1. Open a privileged command prompt. 2. Type net time /domain /set, and then click OK. Hope it helps.
