Hi,

In the system log of our RAS and VPN servers (which also
is a RAS server) we get SMTPSVC warnings ID 100. The
description reads, "The server was unable to logon the
Windows NT account 'webmaster' due to the following error:
Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. The
data is the error code.". I read that the warning would
appear when IIS tries to use the account specified, but
the account doesn't exist in the Computer Management
Console. Could this issue cause any problems?

Thanks

Some process or somebody is trying to use that account for something. I would investigate why. Is SMTP even being used on this server? If not,
stop/disable the service, or uninstall smtp.

Thank you. I hope this information is helpful.
