Kerberos/NTML No Longer Working

Ok, so apologies in advance - this is going to be a long one!


I came into work on Monday morning to get the "we can't get on to the server" from a couple of our Mac users. I didn't think much of it until I looked deeper into it. All the PC users were logged in fine (with Active Directory). None of the macs could get in. They would get the username and password dialog box and after they entered their correct credentials they were getting the old dialog box shake (as in, wrong username/password).


I tried a bunch of things to get them on and ended up resorting to logging on with the AD admin password just to get them working. It did, which meant they could work while I continued to investigate. From there I tried a bunch of things, probably not limited to -


Unbinding them from the domain

Trying them when not on the domain

Rebinding them

Different AD user accounts

Logging in with DOMAINNAME\username

Logging in with username@domainname

Connecting to the servers with DNS name and IP address


The results varied. Sometimes I thought I had a workaround only to find that on another machine it didn't work. Then back on the original machine it had stopped working as well. It has been a real head scratcher. Looking at the logs on the server I think that it is falling back to NTLM authentication and that is failing.


I'm really at a loss with this one. I'm assuming the issue is at the server level, but I'm not 100% as I can't find any identifying evidence. Any help or ideas much appreciated!! Details and server logs are below -
