To resolve this problem, increase the Kerberos token size. To do this, follow these steps on the client computer that logs the Kerberos event.
1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Kerberos\Parameters
Note If the Parameters key is not present, create the key. To do this, follow these steps: a. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Kerberos
b. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click Key.
c. Type Parameters, and then press ENTER.
3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
4. Type MaxTokenSize, and then press ENTER.
5. On the Edit menu, click Modify.
6. In the Base area, click Decimal, type 65535 in the Value data box, and then click OK.

Note The default value for the MaxTokenSize registry entry is a decimal value of 12,000. We recommend that you set this registry entry value to a decimal value of 65,535. If you incorrectly set this registry entry value to a hexadecimal value of 65,535, Kerberos authentication operations may fail. Additionally, programs may return errors.
