No samba and non-windows. All are windows servers.

Than Q very much for your information and would appreciate. But

I verified SPNs and computer names - No duplication found.

These computers not updated recently and exist from long time.

Thanks once again about networking help .I would check and give you update.

i will give the setspn details also. 

I spent days together to search the fix but did not find a correct solution. your help would be highly appreciable. 

we get the message on every day. But we see the same event id, same description with different names  'SLH-001155' with different cifs\

First of all, I do not understand clearly  about the description. if you would explain what is going here with examples of server names based on description that would be great.

Is this for an actual Windows computer?  Or a non-Windows machine 
running something like Samba?

-----

I see these all the time.  I believe these occur on occation when a 
computer account automatically updates its machine account password in 
Active Directory.  (This is a normal function of a computer joined to 
AD.)

I'd suggest un-joining and re-joining the computer to the domain if this 
is a persistent problem on this system.

If the issue persists you likely have a network connection problem. 
Check netstat -s output and look for high error counts and check duplex 
settings on all ends of the connection.

-----

Another thing to check is for identially named accounts (as mentioned,) 
including SPNs that were set with setspn.exe or ktpass.exe.  These are 
hard to track down and may require specific LDAP queries to locate.

-----

Please send output of setspn -l SLH-001155
