Expanding on what chughh had mentioned:

This alert indicates the machine account password, the password the cluster uses to talk to AD when authenticating users, has expired.  This password is automatically updated by the cluster every 15 days.

  • It could appear without any client connectivity issues, as a temporary hiccup and ignored.

  • If the event was generated along with Windows SMB client issues, the machine account password would need to be renewed and time allowed for replication through each node in the cluster. 

When the cluster is joined to active directory, the machine account is created and the corresponding object in ADUC is mapped.  If for any reason this communication channel is interrupted or isn't refreshed every 15 days, the alert will fire to warn of a potential authentication outage.

This alert may occur if the machine account is moved from the correct OU or is disabled in ADUC.

This alert refers to AD machine account invalid.

The message is informational only.

You need to check machine account
