Unknown user on network

Hi all,
I have WRT54G router and last week I noticed an unknown user in the DHCP table. The network is using WPA w/TKIP. I have changed the passphrase and today I see the same user is in the table again. The username in the table was ET00200027C2F0.
My question is: is it possible for someone to get a DHCP lease without knowing the passphrase?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

If that string corresponds to a MAC address, the device is a Lexmark Printer or print server

do you have one of those?

"Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password" even with correct Credentials

I have networked PCs before many times successfully, so this is not my first time trying to network PCs in a home environment. Though I’m wondering if Windows 8.1 is part of the problem.
I would have thought that for sure, until one of the new laptops running W8.1 would not connect to any of the other three PCs/Laptops running W8.1. Yet these other three W8.1 PCs/Laptops CAN connect to this laptop. Then it gets a little more interesting:
this same laptop that couldn’t connect to those three W8.1 PCs/Laptops, CAN connect to a Windows 7 desktop, and a XP Laptop, and those two can also connect back to it without issue. It’s almost like my network is divided in half, and only half can talk to
each other. But then when I thought it couldn’t get any more interesting, I realized the first three W8.1 PCs/Laptops can talk to the others, it’s just that the others (W8.1 Laptop, W7 Desktop, XP Laptop) can’t talk back to them without getting the error,
"Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password” even though the username and password are 100% correct.
I don’t fully understand this error, because on the surface, it’s just WRONG!
My username and password are correct, but it appears something somewhere is interfering or hijacking the authentication process. Three of the computers (laptops) are brand new, just purchased last week and setup this week. The HostPC is also fairly new,
just purchased last month.
I am not using a HomeGroup, and have removed all computers that were part of a HomeGroup. I have enabled file sharing and network discovery and enabled “Use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers” on all PCs.
I have DSL and am using the wireless modem provided by my ISP which has router functionality built into it. It is a Sagemcom Model: F@ST 1704N.
All computers are connected wirelessly. Time is correct on all PCs. I cannot use Group Policy, since they're all Standard or Home edition. DHCP is enabled and all computers are on the same subnet, using the 192.168.254.x range of ip addresses.
The six computers are as follows: (I figured this may make is easier to visualize the layout)
HostPC: HP Desktop W8.1
PC Name: DrsBlend
U/N: DrsBlend p/w: 123456 (not showing my real password)
PC1: HP Laptop W8.1
PC Name: DrsBlend-1
U/N: DrsBlend    P/W: 123456
PC2: HP Laptop W8.1
PC Name: DrsBlend-2
U/N: DrsBlend    P/W: 123456
PC3: HP Laptop W8.1
PC Name: DrsBlend-3
U/N: DrsBlend    P/W: 123456
PC4: HP Desktop W7 SP1
PC Name: DrsBlend-4
U/N: DrsBlend    P/W: 123456
PC5: Dell Laptop XP SP3
PC Name: DrsBlend-5
U/N: DrsBlend    P/W: 123456
Every PC stated above has the same user name and password and is logged-in with the username, DrsBlend and the password 123456. The "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password” happens when trying to access HostPC, PC1, or PC2 from PC3, PC4, or
PC5.
The HostPC can see and connect to all the PCs, but only PC1 and PC2 can talk back or access the HostPC.
It’s like the HostPC and PC1, and PC2 are in their own little clique, and can talk back and forth to each other. Those three PCs can also talk to PC3, PC4, and PC5 as well, but PC3, PC4, and PC5 cannot talk back to them (HostPC, PC1, PC2).
Profile corruption? I would have entertained that thought, but the fact the first three PCs can access and talk to one another kind of defeats that idea, and the fact the PCs were just recently setup.
Firewall? Disabled, and disabled TrendMicro with no change. With them on/off, the first three PCs can still talk to each other and the rest of the PCs.
Anyone have any additional suggestions?

Hi，
How did you connect to other PCs? Do you use RDP to connect to other PCs? If so, check the version of the RDP, as I know, some low version RDP can't connect to higher Windows like 8.1.
And could you please tell us the detailed information about how the six PCs connect to the home network?
Can PC1, PC2, PC3 ping back to host PC, PC1 and PC2?
You can also run command " rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr " view the credentials stored in your PC,check whether this issue is related with some old credentials stored in your system.

Why do I get "Unknown user name or bad password" on Windows 7 when trying to connect to an SMB share on my Mac?

Before installing the update to 10.7.3 I could connect to an SMB share on my Mac from Windows 7 but I can't any longer. When I try I get the error "Unknown user name or bad password" on the Windows 7 system.
When I try to connect using the "net use..." command I get the error: "System error 86 has occurred".
Does anyone know how to resolve this? What really confuses me is that it was working fine until I installed the update to 10.7.3.

Check the Wins Tab in the Advanced section of Network in system preferences.
If you don't have the same workgroup name and the correct NetBIOS name showing up in the WINS tab you will get the Bad username or password.
I know I deal with this everyday.
There is something wrong with Lion and it does not automatically fill in those entries in the WINS tab.
What I have to do on every reboot/startup is open System preferences go to Sharing and uncheck File Sharing then recheck it. That will fill in the WINS tab entries.

Windows Update files: Security permissions has "unknown user"

Ok, this is weird. I have 30 files added in a November Windows update with a compile date or add-to date of 11/21/14. If I look at one of the files. MsSpellCheckingFacility.exe. I can see it is a legit file.
https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/e9dcf987838e9a70fca4e1b1dda217bd1e309cd4f6bac47402120f76aac6edc7/analysis/
However, the security permissions on the file are strange. The user TrustedInstaller is the owner. Now that seems to be typical when the file is a Microsoft updated file. However, the file also has a user added that is unknown.
user ? S-1-14-21
Umm, why is this? Its 30 files like this all REAL Microsoft files....all apparently part of the update. All scanned against virustotal as being revised about that date/time. Did Microsoft release an Update Build with files as a part
of that build that had Microsoft users still attached to them?

Hi!
This machine is joined to a domain? This SID with parameter "-21-" indicates a domain. If so, it is needed to verify on local polices if any user had permission on domain workstations enforced by network Administration.
But when researching by SID "S-1-14-21" we have no
reference, as parameter "-14-" is not commonly used.
From articles bellow, we can find how SID works and the well known SIDs:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd302645.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn743661.aspx
As this is not a known SID, I suggest you to try to use the script on link bellow to determine who is the user account:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2004/12/03/how-can-i-determine-the-sid-for-a-user-account.aspx
The problem can be a user account that had already deleted (this is why SID is not resolved to a name) or a problem on WMI component that is not able to resolve SID.
If not successfull with article above, please post a screenshot on file permission in order to help you further.
Cheers!

Unknown user in windows service

Hi all,
I'm running two Mac OS X 10.3.9 servers with Windows service among other things, and I kept seeing this unknown user connected to my server. I've set the Windows service to NOT allow guest access and none of my share points allow guest access either. Although I haven't seen any weird activities but should I concern.

I saw them in the Server Admin/Windows/Connections page, I don't have DHCP enabled and our wireless access point is not even on the same subnet so I doubt it's a wireless issue. Some of them do have ip's which I'm sure they are not within our network. I'm guessing would it be possible that someone is TRYING to login and that the connections page in the SA simply just trying to show me everything.
BTW, since I posted this message I haven't seen any mysterious login on the Windows side anymore, weird......... hmmmmm maybe they know ;P

Windows Security Error! Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password

We RANDOMLY can't access one of the computers in our company's network. It is now saying - Windows Security - Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. It doesn't matter what I put in for a user name and pw it still doesn't work.
Any help is much appreciated!

To be added, if it is part of domain, is this computer had local account? If so, try to logon local account for test, If sucessfully, follow Cyber's suggestion remove PC from domain and rejoin it for test.
If not, you can try to boot system into recovery mode and choose recovery computer for test.
Press F8 at startup, then choose Recovery system.

Airport Takeover by Unknown User

I need some help, please: since a couple of hours an unknown user has taken over my airport network (probably one of my neighbors has installed a new WiFi system) . His/her name appears in the "Network" selection, but is password-protected, while mine, using the 802.11b protocol has disappeared. The result of all this is that I cannot connect to the internet by airport (right now I am using Ethernet directly to my Comcast box).
My Airport Admin Utility is 4.2.3. (I know, it's dated). I have no idea, however, how to and where to change the settings to take control again, so you would have to walk me through this step-by-step, please.

reimarc wrote:
All right, it looks like we are hitting our first snag:
If I open airport utility, it doesn't even see my base station. After clicking on the "Other" tab, I get this:
"The AirPort Admin Utility was unable to read the configuration of the selected base station". "An error occurred while reading the configuration".
okay, try a +factory restore+ of the unit. pull it from power, stick a pointy object into the reset button at the back of the unit and keep pressing while you re-connect to power until the status light flashes rapidly (5-10 seconds). this will erase all settings but as things stand it don't make much difference.
launch keychaine access, click on passwords and delete every entry pertaining to your old network name and base station passwords.
turn off airport on your machine and connect extreme and Mac by ethernet cable. launch airport utility and, after a little while, the extreme should show up in the left part of the window.
try uploading the firmware you downloaded earlier now. click upload and navigate to the download. click update. if it won't let you before setting the extreme up, we'll get to that later.
click configure and in the airport tab, give your extreme a new name and click on +change password+. you can safely use your old password.
click on +change wireless security+ and see if you can set it to WPA personal. choose a non-dictionary password made up of letters and numbers.
click on +bases station options+. i gave my old extreme to my mom some time ago so i can't recall exactly what will come up here but i believe you will be able to +limit access+ to the extreme in here. i think there will be a little + sign and if you click on it, you will be able to add +this computer+. if you hit okay the MAC address of your Mac will be added to the list. now only your Mac (or devices which MAC addresses you add manually) will be able to connect to this base station.
now comes the point where you choose on which channel your extreme will broadcast. see the notes you made from using iStumbler. if your neighbor is broadcasting on e.g. channel 1, you'll want 11 or something like that.
in the internet tab, you will have to enter the login details provided by your ISP.
Hier ist es auch kalt! Wie kriege ich screen snapshots in diese message serie? Dann braeuchte ich nicht immer alles per hand aufzuschreiben, was ich in den dialogfenstern sehe?
easy. you will have to take screen shots and upload those to a web server. google +upload picture+.
use +img src=*paste image address here*+ and put < before image and > at the end. paste the complete thing in your post.
i'd be especially interested in the +base station options+ and +wireless options+

Time capsule/pc/unknown user

I purchased time capsule 500 gb. its installed properly because my wireless macbook and another pc access the internet perfectly. Doing the same installation on another pc, after put in the password on the Airport Disc pop up, i get the message : "unknown user, incorrect password, or login is disabled. Please retype the login information or contact the disk's administrater (87)" I use the same password as the other 2 computers, so what gives? at one point it said something about "netBios needs to be enabled".
what do i do?

I had the same problem.. Updating to 7.4.2 seems to have solved the problem, for me anyway. There seem to be a lot of posts about people noticing network slow downs. Can't say I have, but currently I can't access my printer attached to the USB port on my TC from my PC. My iMac can print to it no problem. Bought printer after update installed. If someone can point me in the right direction of solving that problem that would be great.
Cheers

So any one give me the exact soluction for this problem,
Using service account then i will get the soluction or what?
pls help me out it is urgent based.

Thanks!

Hi Ychinnari,
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, as
Vaishu00547 mentioned that the issue can be caused by the Execution Account you have configured in the Reporting Services Configuration Manager is not correct, Please update the Username and Password and restart the reporting services.
Please also find more details information about when to use the execution account, if possible,please also not specify this account:
This account is used under special circumstances when other sources of credentials are not available:
When the report server connects to a data source that does not require credentials. Examples of data sources that might not require credentials include XML documents and some client-side database applications.
When the report server connects to another server to retrieve external image files or other resources that are referenced in a report.
Execution Account (SSRS Native Mode)
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

Network Users with network homes not really working for me

I have with great pain setup a OS X Lion server on a Mac Mini that was supposed to be my central server to have 4 network users accounts and all the users data is stored on an external disk array with mounted network homes to the 2 iMacs and 2 Macbooks I have in my home.
I have gotten it all working and all my Macs are joined to the Open Directory and each User can login as a network users on any of the Macs and get their files via mounted home directory from the server. The home directories on the server are backed up with Time Machine.
I have found the following items that do not work proberly:
1) Desktop backgrounds settings are just lost sometimes for whatever reason. Desktop background goes to default and you need to manually set back to the one you have selected. This happen mostly if users have their own desktop pictures.
2) Keychain get's screwed up. The user often get the "Keychain doesn't exist to store ..." message and need to select to reset the keychain. Anything I have tried from "Keychain First Aid" to removing and have a new one created doesn't fix the problem. It keeps on coming back.
3) iTunes Storage and AppStore are getting confused about authorized computers. This is because a user logs in from another computer and then iTunes store would tell the user this computer hasn't been authorized to play the purchase music. Same happens with iPhone apps from the AppStore. Apparently those two stores are not setup to hanlde network users proberly.
4) Permission issues happen sometimes in Application like iPhoto where it would complain not being able to see photos or cannot add new photos to the library. Need to run a permission repair on the Iphoto Library to fix this.
5) One critical one is that it's not really possible to restore files from Time Machine. The Time Machine backup is done on the server by an administrator account directly backing up the user directories. When you go into Time Machine on the server even the admin can drill down into the user directories so no restore possible. The individual users have no idea that there was ever a Time Machine backup done as Time Machine is not setup in their accounts on the individual Macs. This prevents any possible restore.
I reckon that many of the problems are related to having only one location for ~/Library as the individual Macs are writing their user related settings into this directory in a central location. So what happens is when something on iMac 1 and then I log in on iMac 2 that might not exactly match this Macs config and it get's confused throwing one of the above erors.
Trouble is witth central network home directory the way they mounted i can't exclude the ~/Library folder. The only option I can see is mobile account because I have seen in the preferences that when they sync the handle Library items differently.
Does anybody have any experience out there with this sort of thing and can advise what's the best way forward?
If i can't resolve this I'll go back to have network users with local home directories on each Mac and just setup for each user a network share to which they copy files if they want them available on other Macs. Not as nice but at least it works!
As a said note I did this to make things easier but it has up to now cost me trouble then i had before!

Haven't heard anything from anybody so probably to daunting a topic ...
I have now moved on to try Portable Home Directories (PHD) and syncing ... what a disaster!
First it took me ages to get this right as the way the home directores are mounted on the clients from the server it's just weired which has to do with how AFP mounts are implemented. Since one AFP mount can't be mounted by several users on the same system they use a workaround of mounting it to a temp directory and then linking it back to where it should be. Of course this causes major problems.
Okay it kind of worked so let's move on to syncing PHD. First of all on initial creation it only sync a small portion of the directory that should be okay but on some of my accounts it never went passed this stage. It said it's all synced but it only had synced the first 10% or so of the data. I wasn't able to make it sync anymore.
On other accounts it correctly synced all the data down, or so I thought. Apparently a few sync session back and forth and 50-60% of the data was gone. On further investigation it turned out to be iTunes and iPhoto libraries. Turns out does don't sync probably via Home Sync!!!
Apple product is not able to probably syncing Apple specific library files!!!!
So here my warning to everybody: DO NOT USE PHD and HOME SYNC to sync your data as you will lose stuff if you have iTunes and/or iPhoto libraries with Lion OS X Server!!!
The whole Lion Server experience has been a disaster for me. Now I have a server that does file sharing and time machine backup sharing. I can do the same thing with a standard Mac using those services. What's the point of Lion Sever for Home if nothing works proberly?

How do I remove (unknown) user in permissions & sharing, please?

I re-installed OS X with archive install. I am reinstalling preferences, etc... using Time Machine and my archived Previous System folder. However, many folders are marked and I have an (unknown) user with Read&Write Priveleges in Sharing & Permissions for files within 'Previous System' folders. I am unable to remove (unknown) with - and I have no option for setting 'No Access' to this user.
How do I remove (unknown) user with Read&Write Priveleges in Permissions?
Using Terminal, I have ascertained that my uid=501
Macintosh:~ symone$ ls -ladeO /Previous\ Systems.localized/Previous\ System\ 1/Users/symone/Library/Audio

Hmmm, doesn't sound good for your drive.
Check the S.M.A.R.T. status of the drive in Disk Utilty by highlighting the Drive & looking at the bottom of the window.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

How to do a Clean Install (Don't preserve users and network settings)

I'd like to make a clean install of Snow Leopard -- but NOT erasing the whole drive and NOT migrating/preserving my users and network settings.
I have a bunch of applications and huge data sets (about 40G) on the boot drive that I don't want to go through the trouble of reinstalling or backing up, and that do not install Application Support folders and the like. I'd like to keep them, as well as migrate files like fonts and preferences over manually. Thus I don't want to format in disk utility and install.
I seem to remember there was the option in Tiger (Leopard maybe?) to Archive and Install Without Preserving anything, such as network settings, users, extensions and preferences. It would leave a completely fresh System, and a Previous System where I could manually migrate over everything I wanted to keep.
Is this possible in Snow Leopard?
Thanks.

Let me clarify.
Snow Leopard does an Archive and Install, BUT it PRESERVES Users and Settings. The default install "upgrades in place".
I have been having all sorts of weird crashes and hangs on my Leopard install and i want a fresh, not upgraded install.
I WANT to keep my old Leopard system so I can manually transfer over fonts, files, and applications.
I WANT an upgrade that DOES NOT preserve Preferences, Application Settings, extensions, etc. etc. etc.
But, I do NOT want to have to completely format and install, because that would involve burning approximately 60G of files and applications to DVD-Rs and copying them back.
Thanks.

There is no serialiser configured in the cache config, instead we just set tangosol.pof.enabled=true, and set the pof config file to what is seen above. The thing which is very confusing about this error is that unlike other clients which we connect, and in fact the servers they connect to, this client never attempts to load the cache configuration file. The point at which this should happen, prior to pof loading, shows:

iguration from "jar:file:/C:/Program%20Files/Oracle/coherence/3.5.2b463P2/lib/coherence.jar!/reports/report-group.xml"
I have tried every combination of classpath entries I can think of, and no matter what, it never shows an attempt to load the application-cache-config.xml supplied in the startup. Does anyone have any experience with something like this?

I guess your non-storing JAVA code does not specify -Dtangosol.pof.enabled=true and the -Dtangosol.pof.config =<POF file location> on joining the cluster. Post the startup java command and the complete logs.
If application-cache-config is not loaded then coherence-cache-config.xml should be loaded by default and set -Dtangosol.coherence.cacheconfig=<application-cache-config>

Hello Experts,
After a Test refresh for SCM system, we restored Livecache. The database has been changed and starts using database manager, during registration (Register LCApps) it gives the following error:

Hi there,
looks like you entered "DBADMIN" when you created the liveCache instance in DBMGUI as the DBM Operator.
For SAP installations, this user is always named "CONTROL".
So, drop the instance again, recreate it with "CONTROL" and re-do the recovery of the liveCache backup.
regards,
Lars
