View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You have a Windows Server 2008-based writable domain controller and a Windows Server 2008-based read-only domain controller (RODC). Some client computers that exist in one site belong to the same domain.
  • Some users use a domain account to log on to the domain from a client computer that is in the site.
In this scenario, Event ID 1699 is logged many times in the Directory Service event log of the writable domain controller. These events resemble the following event:
Sometimes, Event ID 2041 may also be logged. The event that is logged resembles the following event:
These events fill the Directory Service event log and prevent administrators from troubleshooting issues according to the event logs.

Cause

When a Windows Server 2008 RODC tries to cache the password of a principal, a writable domain controller performs a check to determine whether this operation is permitted. If this operation is not permitted, an error code is returned. This is expected behavior. However, Event 1699 may incorrectly be logged when the error code is returned.

A hotfix is available to resolve this issue. After you install this hotfix, the server does not log Event ID 1699 in the scenario that is mentioned in the "Cause" section. In other scenarios, the event is still logged.
