Symptoms

NTLM User logon authentication fails every week with RPC return code 0xC0000022(STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED) from the Active Directory (AD) server.

Impact

NTLM Authentication fails after a week. APM end user client logon (such as Outlook users, Remote Desktop Users, and Browser-based NTLM Auth logons that use BIG-IP APM as forward/reverse proxy) fails, and the service is down.

Conditions

-- Upgrading from legacy versions to BIG-IP v14.1.2 or later. -- AD servers are updated with latest security patches from Microsoft.

Workaround

To resolve the issue temporarily, use either of the following: -- Reset the NTLM Machine Account with the 'Renew Machine Password' option. -- Run the command: bigstart restart nlad The problem can reappear after a week, so you must repeat these steps each time the issue occurs.

Fix Information
