Kerberos error in event log on every SharePoint 2010 farm server.

I had an error in the event log on every SharePoint 2010 farm server:

A Kerberos Error Message was received:

This happens after migration of the old MOSS 2007 farm to SharePoint 2010. – On the new farm I used new accounts for the application pools.

I created SPNs on the new Application Pool accounts for the web applications.

BUT I forgot to remove the same SPNs from the old Application Pool accounts!!! – This was the (big) mistake.

ADSIEdit let me create the same SPN on different accounts. Sad smile

After removing the SPNs from the old Application Pool accounts everything works fine!

use SETSPN-Tool to find the accounts:

setspn Q HTTP/xxxx.net

You’ll get a list of all accounts that have the specified SPN “HTTP/xxxxx.net”
