SYMPTOMS
Full synchronization from a Windows NT primary domain controller (PDC) to
LanMan server may fail when there are too many machine accounts in the
domain. The LanMan server will log the following error message:
Failed to synchronize with PDC, Event ID LMU-6086
CAUSE
This is a problem in the Netlogon service.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Windows NT 4.0 and Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition. This problem was first corrected in Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4.0 and Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition Service Pack 4.
MORE INFORMATION
Delta syncs from Windows NT to LanMan will sometimes fail because of the
differences between Windows NT and LanMan security. When such a failure
occurs, LanMan will perform a full synchronization and with the above
hotfix applied, full synchronization will be successful even if there are a
large number of machine accounts in the domain.
