I've just added a Vista Ultimate system to a W2K network. The machine is
logging the following whenever it's started, logged in, or unlocked:

Event Type: Failure Audit
Event Source: Security
Event Category: Account Logon
Event ID: 675
Date: 3/5/08
Time: 9:40:43 AM
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: DC
Description:
Pre-authentication failed:
User Name: User [or COMPUTER$]
User ID: DOMAIN\User [or DOMAIN\COMPUTER$]
Service Name: krbtgt/DOMAIN
Pre-Authentication Type: 0x0
Failure Code: 0x19
Client Address: x.x.x.x


Searches on Google and MS groups turn up a bunch of similar, unanswered
questions or references to a patch for SBS 2003 (we're on W2K Server). None
of the XP machines have the problem. No events show up for the same user on
non-Vista workstations.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

There are a number of comments regarding this error on eventid.net:

Have you looked if any of those may be the cause? This is a fairly generic
error, so it could be anything. I'd also check and make sure the time is
synched properly between the two computers. The easiest way to resolve this
may also be to remove and re-add the computer to the domain.

That all said, I have to point out that Windows 2000 went out of mainstream
support over a year before Vista shipped. That practically means there is no
real guarantee that Vista will operate properly in a Windows 2000 domain.
