SYMPTOMS
The following Site Server Membership Broker errors may occur in Event
Viewer if the computer name is longer than 11 characters and dynamic data
replication is enabled:
Event ID 4107: The Site Server Authentication Service could not do an
LDAP bind. Error: 49, virtual server number 2. If this happened during
a reboot of the machine and the LDAP server is on the same machine, it
is not critical. The Authentication Service will automatically recover
from this problem when the first authentication happens.
Event ID 4102: The Site Server Authentication Service could not connect
to the LDAP server. Error: 49, virtual server number 2. If this
happened during a reboot of the machine and the LDAP server is on the
same machine, it is not critical. The Authentication Service will
automatically recover from this problem when the first authentication
happens.
CAUSE
The computer name is greater than 11 characters.
WORKAROUND
Shorten the computer name to 11 characters or less, or make the first three to five characters of every computer name (NetBIOS name) unique.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Site
Server version 3.0.
MORE INFORMATION
The computer name is appended to MBSBRKR_ when the Membership Broker
account is created during the setup of a membership instance. If the sum
of the characters of this account exceeds the 20 character Windows NT
account maximum, the account is truncated to 20 characters. This causes
the Site Server Membership Broker errors to be generated when Membership
servers participating in dynamic data replication attempt to communicate.
