  • We have seen this code when Active Directory replication does not work correctly. In this case, it is possible that e.g. a computer account joins the domain using one DC. Then, this information is not replicated within AD. If the computer then tries to authenticate to another DC, it is not found there, resulting in this error code.
  • Also, make sure time synchronization between DCs is working well.
