Changing Administrator PW crashes SIM?

[Christian777]

Hello everyone,

i have read a lot of threads in this forum about changing the Admin PW, but none of all those solutions out there helps me.

I have changed the Service-Account of HP SIM (it now run with the local admin account).
Since i did this, HP SIM records thousands of "Login failed Authentication" events for the local Administrator.

I have also changed the passwords of HP SIM with the mxpassword tool, but this had no effect.

Another problem is, that the server is running at 100% cpu all the time!

The processes causing this are mxpassword.exe and sometimes mxdomainmgr.exe

i have no more idea what can i do .. maybe somone of you guys can help me?

Thanks in advance!

Did you verify SA account connections ?

I checked all the ODBC connections and they reported successfully.

SQLServer service starts and I can open and log on to the Homepage of SIM, but I have thousands of Login Failed Authentication errors (appearing every 10 seconds).

Did you need any further informations?

btw, the odbc connection is configured to use Windows NT authentication instead of sql server authentication.

I also use a local admin account on my SIMS server. However, this account must also be a member of domain users and in a group that can access your domains servers.

These errors might be occuring when the SIMS server tried to access a domain server.
I believe our account is in an AD built in security group, server operator group.

Hi,

correct me if i am wrong, but a local Admin account cannot be a member of a domain group .. or what did you mean?!

Our local admin account can access all other servers as well..
