You receive a Kerberos PAC validation error message when you start multiple processes on multiple Windows Server 2008-based computers

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:
  • You start multiple processes on multiple Windows Server 2008-based computers from domains that do not directly trust one another.
  • The processes have to validate the Kerberos Privilege Attribute Certificate (PAC).
In this scenario, the processes do not authenticate one another. Additionally, you receive a Kerberos PAC validation error message.

CAUSE

This issue occurs because Kerberos PAC validation relies on Net Logon generic pass-through authentication. This authentication is supported only for domains that are directly trusted. For more information about trusts, visit the following Microsoft TechNet Web site:

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
