<P><FONT size=2>Its likely around security model. If you look at how
delegation works, on a per host basis, it has changed dramatically.<BR><BR>The
constraining of services used to be available through the registry and the
available authentication types I don't believe existed.<BR><BR>That's why my
guess is authentication. However, the function binds and then searches,

2008<BR><BR>Hi,<BR> DsMakeSpn() is called with a NULL ServiceName and
according to the MSDN docs the ServiceName should be non-NULL (As you mentioned

Register spn works fine and nothing works relative to delegation in 2008
HPC. From the service principal perspective, we are able to see the
service principal registered in Active Directory just fine after running the
command.<BR><BR>Please keep in mind that AD in 2008 has changed quite a bit
relative to service principals. There are now several additional options,
and my guess is that the API has changed as well.<BR><BR>If you take a close
look at the error messages from your code, you will see the
following:<BR><BR>GetGC failed 0x1<BR><BR>DsMakeSpn(mpich2_smpd,
central2.itlab.platform.com, 8676) failed: The parameter is
incorrect.<BR><BR>So, we need to understand what GetGC is and why it failed, and
then cascading to the DsMakeSpn.<BR><BR>Regards,<BR><BR>Larry Adams<BR>Senior
