Event viewer and security failure audit

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I have a windows XP Pro comp wireless networked to a XP Home comp - both
log-in with same admin priveleges and have same user account and password. No
errors with the XP Pro but I keep getting 3 system failure audits on the XP
Home system:

Account Logon-Logon attempt by Microsoft_AuthenticationPack_v1 gives error
code ="incorrect password supplied"

Event ID 529 - unknown user name or password

IPSec services - failed to get the complete list of network interfaces on
the machine .......Please run IPSec snap-in to further diagnose.

I have checked the password log-on has'nt changed. IPSec when activated in
Console does'nt show any errors. I can't see anything obvious and there are
no spyware programs on the XP Home system.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me??

Nothing to worry about. I get Event ID 529 & 680 all the time.

[[The event occurred on Windows XP if the machine environment meets the
following criteria:
- The machine is a member of a domain.
- The machine is using a machine local account.
- Logon failure auditing is enabled.
When the user logs off, Windows will write event ID 529 to the log file
because the OS incorrectly tries to contact the domain controller (DC),
despite the fact that the machine is using a local account. Microsoft
currently doesn't provide a fix for this problem, but you can safely ignore
this event ID.]]

Thankyou to both respondents - your info has helped me. I have turned off
failure audits for security in event viewer now that I know its not a problem
with my operating system so that I dont have to scan a long list of fault
warnings that all relate to above. I trust that if Microsoft eventually
provides a fix for this that somehow I'll find out about it?
