this may help. quoted from http://www.ChicagoTech.net
Logon Failure: The target account name is incorrect.
Symptom: 1. When attempting to gain access to a child domain controller from
the parent domain, you may receive "Logon Failure: The target account name
is incorrect" message.
2. When you try to promote domain controllers in new child domains or create
replicas, you may receive the above message.
3. This error may occur when you are promoting a large number of domain
controllers for newly created subordinate domains or new trees in the forest
while you are logged on with administrative credentials from a different
domain.
Causes: 1. This can occur if two computers have the same computer name. One
computer may be located in the child domain; the other computer is located
in the parent domain.
2. This issue may occur if the SPN for the domain that is hosting the
replica has not been propagated to the domain.
3. The domain controller is no available.

| Quote: | I have a customer running SBS2003 at the root of a domain with a win 2000
server across a VPN running active directory in the same domain as a
global
catalog server.
The problem is when you try to access the SBS2003 server from the end with
the win 2000 server (either a mapped drive or through network
neibourehood)
you get the error "LOGON FAILURE: THE TARGET ACCOUNT NAME IS INCORRECT"
Both servers are logged on as administrator (the same active directory
account)
Also when clients in the SBS2003 end try to access other client's outlook
calendars
They get an error unable to connect to exchange server.
A reboot used to fix these problems, but not any more!
Active directory policies have been left Totally as standard.
Can any one help me with this?
Thanks
Lex
