Failed Log Ons after upgrading to HP SIM 5.1

[Don Young Infotech]

After upgrading to HP SIM 5.1 from 5.0 we have been receiving several failed log in alerts every minute or so...this results in the service account for HP SIM being locked out.

The events are being generated from the server where SIM is installed on port 2381 as you can see from the alert (below).

I know this is the port for the Systems Management Homepage and I can log in to the Management Home Page with the service account with no problems.

Since the failed log ons lock out the domain service account...right now HP Sim is virtually useless.

The service account credentials have been verified and the services using the credentials start properly.

What may be causing this?

Thanks!
