Overview
The customer reported receiving critical notifications related to data insertion failures in the Active Directory (AD) module.
Environment Details
Lepide version installed: 24.4
Observations
AD auditing logs indicated “Data insertion failed” errors.
Error details pointed to the Failed Logon folder (AD_GP_TYPE5_2).
The AD_GP_TYPE5_2 folder contained a large volume of unprocessed logs.
These logs were outdated, indicating a backlog issue.
Troubleshooting Steps Performed
Stopped all Lepide services.
Moved the Failed Logon (AD_GP_TYPE5_2) folder to a different location to clear backlog.
Reinstalled agents on all Domain Controllers.
Performed a test change in Active Directory (updated description of a test user).
Results
Data insertion started working successfully.
Reports began generating without any issues.
No further critical notifications were received by the customer.
Recommendations Provided to Customer
Investigate the root cause of excessive failed logon events in the environment.
Temporarily disabled the “Audit Failed Logon” option under Object Classes and other AD settings to prevent log overflow.
Once the failed logon issue is resolved:
Re-enable Audit Failed Logon.
Monitor the solution behavior to ensure stability.
Conclusion
The issue was caused by a backlog of unprocessed failed logon logs, which disrupted data insertion. Clearing the backlog and reinstalling agents resolved the issue. Preventive steps were recommended to avoid recurrence.
