The mapping problem usually occurs when you don't have the correct DLLs to
view the data in the even log. This usually happens when you view it over the
network, from a different type of machine.

Our DCs log a system error 2510 with the message "The server service was
unable
to map error code 1909."
System error code 1909 means "The referenced account is currently locked out
and
may not be logged on to."
I'm not sure what "unable to map" means unless the reason is something like
"the
account name doesn't exist in our database".
Can you explain why the server service can't "map" a known error code?

I'm concerned this may indicate an attempt to break into our system.
If my WAG is right, why doesn't the system provide more details on what
account
was requested.

Can anyone explain what is going on here? If I'm way off-base in my thinking,
please point me in the right direction.
