SYMPTOMS
If you attempt to add a user or modify an existing user account, you
receive the following error:
CAUSEThis problem occurs when the %Systemroot%\Netlogon.chg file is corrupted, or has the read-only file attribute set. RESOLUTIONTo correct this problem, ensure that the read-only attribute is not set for the Netlogon.chg file, or delete the file. This file is located on the primary domain controller (PDC) and all backup domain controllers (BDCs), but is only used on the PDC. MORE INFORMATION
The Netlogon.chg file is located on the PDC and keeps track of the changes
made to the security databases. Each change to the security databases is
recorded in the change log along with the change serial number. The serial
number is maintained separately for each of the three security databases.
The security databases are actually three separate databases: the SAM
Accounts database, the SAM Built-in database, and the LSA database. The
SAM Built-in database contains all the default local groups installed with
the system. The SAM Accounts database include all other SAM objects:
users, global groups, site-specific local groups, and global security
policy. The LSA database contains user rights, secret objects, and trusted
domain objects.
