SUMMARY
If you type an incorrect password when you log on to a computer running Windows NT Workstation 4.0 or later that has a secure channel with a backup domain controller (BDC), the BDC checks the primary domain controller (PDC) before it denies the logon attempt to the workstation.
MORE INFORMATION
Machine account passwords behave differently than logon passwords. During the authentication process when the workstation is setting up a secure channel with a BDC, it sends the machine account password for authentication. If the password the workstation sends does not match the password on the BDC for this machine account, the BDC does not verify the password with the PDC. Instead, it logs an error 5722 in the System Event log and denies the logon attempt to the workstation.
