RID Pool Allocation (AdSmRidPoolAllocation)


Monitors requests for new relative identifier (RID) pools and reports any failed requests.

Note

The RID Pool Allocation attribute in BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management is referred as the AdSmRidPoolAllocation parameter in BMC PATROL.

This parameter monitors the Event IDs 16645, 16650, and 16651 in the System event log. The source of these events is the Security Account Manager (SAM).

  • Event 16645: The domain controller failed to obtain a new identifier pool. Indicates the domain controller cannot contact the master domain controller. Account creation on this controller will fail until a new pool has been allocated. Network or connectivity problems in the domain or a missing or offline master domain controller are likely. Verify that the master domain controller is running and connected to the domain.
  • Event 16650: The account-identifier allocator failed to initialize properly. See the record data for the NT error code. Windows may retry the initialization until it succeeds. Until that time, account creation on this domain controller will not occur. See the other SAM event logs that may indicate the exact reason for the failure.
  • Event 16651: The request for a new account-identifier pool failed. The operation will be retried until the request succeeds.
