SYMPTOMS
========
When Netlogon sends discovery mailslots to find a domain controller in a trusted
domain, it fails to send directed mailslots to all the domain controllers
defined in the LMHOSTS file with the trusted domain name.
You can see the results in the following sample LMHOSTS file and trace. Even
though TTOWN5 is defined as an AMERICA Domain Controller, it is never sent a
directed mailslot for Netlogon, therefore it may never be used for
authentication by a trusting domain.
LMHOSTS file contents:
144.249.168.234 CIMCON #DOM:AMERICA #PRE
144.249.168.104 TTOWN1 #DOM:AMERICA #PRE
144.249.13.207 TTOWN2 #DOM:AMERICA #PRE
144.249.168.105 TTOWN3 #DOM:AMERICA #PRE
144.249.169.16 TTOWN4 #DOM:AMERICA #PRE
144.249.157.21 TTOWN5 #DOM:AMERICA #PRE
Trace results:
EVERST *BROADCAST NETLOGON SAM LOGON request from client
EVERST *NETBIOS Mult NETLOGON SAM LOGON request from client
EVERST CIMCON NETLOGON SAM LOGON request from client
EVERST TTOWN1 NETLOGON SAM LOGON request from client
EVERST TTOWN2 NETLOGON SAM LOGON request from client
EVERST TTOWN3 NETLOGON SAM LOGON request from client
EVERST TTOWN4 NETLOGON SAM LOGON request from client
CAUSE
=====
The LMHOSTS parser code in NetBT incorrectly stores IP Addresses when building
the <Domain Name 0x1c> Group Name.
