    Might be worth mentioning that you need the windows server support tools installed to run any of the commands in this post.

    Still getting same error even after running these commands and making sure the SPNs are present in ADSI Edit. Any other suggestions? Domain Controller is 2008 R2 and the member server is also 2008 R2. Logged in to both servers as domain admin. Thanks.

    I am experiencing this issue on a Windows 2003R2 sp2 server that is NOT a DC but, with the following difference: Additional Data
    The error received was 8235: A referral was returned from the server.

    I went through the steps regarding adsiedit, however the settings specified already exist in the manner specified in your instructions @ 6-2. Any further ideas as to what I might be able to do?

    In our case it was also necessary to reboot the server (2008 R2).
