Event Audit Failure when performing a search in SP2010

by ZODIAC\Daniel

on 24/01/2012 10:42 AM

Category: SharePoint

Recently I ran into a issue where, When a non administrator user performed a search in SharePoint 2010, no results where returned and a logon failure was raised in the security event log.,

An account failed to log on.

Subject:
    Security ID:        DOMAIN\SPSearchService
    Account Name:        SPSearchService
    Account Domain:        DOMAIN
    Logon ID:        0x11b565

Logon Type:            3

Account For Which Logon Failed:
    Security ID:        NULL SID
    Account Name:        
    Account Domain:        

Failure Information:
    Failure Reason:        Unknown user name or bad password.
    Status:            0xc000006d
    Sub Status:        0xc0000064

Process Information:
    Caller Process ID:    0xe28
    Caller Process Name:    C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\w3wp.exe

Network Information:
    Workstation Name:    SHAREPOINT
    Source Network Address:    -
    Source Port:        -

Detailed Authentication Information:
    Logon Process:        Authz   
    Authentication Package:    Kerberos
    Transited Services:    -
    Package Name (NTLM only):    -
    Key Length:        0

So off I go to ensure that the password for the SPSearchService was correct in Active Directory, in SharePoint 2010 as a managed account as the service accounts. All changed and restarted the services.

No luck, still the same result.

Opening the SharePoint Log, I see this:

01/24/2012 10:08:35.91 w3wp.exe (0x0E28) 0x12F4 SharePoint Server Search Query Processor g2j3 High AuthzInitializeContextFromSid failed with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED. This error indicates that the account under which this process is executing may not have read access to the tokenGroupsGlobalAndUniversal attribute on the querying user's Active Directory object. Query results which require non-Claims Windows authorization will not be returned to this querying user. 0b8e1091-b130-425c-b27d-edb08cc1b45c

Ah! Something to go on.

So off to the web I trek to see what comes back.

The Solution:

I cam across this KB article, which despite being for Reporting Services, did the trick.

I performed the following steps:

On the domain controller, click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Users and Computers.
In the Active Directory Users and Computers window, expand DomainName, and then click Users or another appropriate organization unit (OU).
Double-click the Reporting Services service account.
In the Properties dialog box, click the Member Of tab.
On the Member Of tab, click Add.
In the Select Groups dialog box, type Windows Authorization Access Group under Enter the object names to select, and then click OK.
Restart the Search Servies & IIS

Once I had completed this, the search results started to appear without issue, no more Audit Failure or log error!

Fore more information about “Why the tokenGroupsGlobalAndUniversal (TGGAU) attribute matters in SharePoint 2010” the see: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/russmax/archive/2010/01/20/why-the-tokengroupsglobalanduniversal-tggau-attribute-matters-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx

Next is how SharePoint can index your current public folders to be sure this content can be found from within SharePoint's enterprise search engine. Lastly, we'll summarize migration options if you're looking to move public folders into SharePoint. Only a basic understanding of SharePoint is needed for this session.

SAGE-AU October Monthly Meeting

by ZODIAC\Daniel

on 1/10/2011 5:15 PM

Category: Events; SAGE-AU

This months SAGE-AU South Australian Chapter Meeting Details:

“For anyone running Active Directory and using virtualisation and/or machine cloning, this session sounds like a must-attend - come along, and bring your sysadmin colleagues! :)” – Pete Calvert

== What ==

Our very own Pete Calvert is going to shed light on the impact of VMs and cloning on Windows technologies like AD.

>From the notes for the earlier presentation he gave at Tech-Ed:

Customers are looking to further virtualize their environments: file servers, web servers, DNS servers, and even their domain controllers.

It is clear that virtualization provides many benefits in areas such as deployment, disaster-recovery and lowering TCO. However, while virtualization offers many powerful capabilities and greatly simplifies repetitive tasks, it is a technology that must be handled with care when used in conjunction with Active Directory. In this session we review fundamental concepts within Active Directory and the impact of cloning and virtualization upon domain controllers, domain members and Windows in general. We also discuss how to best leverage virtualization and how to both mitigate problems and avoid occurrences in the first place.

== When ==

Tuesday, 25th October 2011

(Arrive: ~6:15 PM. Presentation starts ~6:30PM)

== Where ==

Internode

162 Grenfell St

Ground floor training room (ie., next door to Internode HQ)
