Recently I got a BSOD on the file server when rebooting from a windows
patch. Since then, none of my users have been able to access the file
server. I can only access the file server as a user with admin privileges
on the domain. Security event log ID 529 appears in the event log of the
file server, denoting unknown user name or bad password whenever I try to
log in as a domain user. I can log-on to the domain on my XP clients no
problem and access TCP port 445 on all my domain controllers and print
servers. it is only this machine which has the issue. I seem to remember
solving this issue on a Windows 2000 Advanced Server machine about 18 months
ago, but I cannot find my notes.

This is a Windows 2003 native active directory domain with XP and 2003
machines.

Anybody remember the solution?

Thanks in advance.
