I have a windows 2000 AD domain in Native mode. I have started to get failures from different PCs (Win 2K Pro and XP Pro)when they try to access a certain member server in the domain. They get the following error: "Logon Failure: The target account name is incorrect." I have not been able to figure out what is causing this. Any help would be appreciated. I have read several articles about this happening on Domain Controllers but this server is only a member server. Thanks in advance.

Is the time on the PCs and Servers the same?
You really need to sync the DC to a NTP time source and sync the PCs to the DC. Check for W32Time errors in event logs.

What errors are being generated on the workstation and server
in the event logs?

Is the member server the same domain or a child domain?
