If you install multiple instances of a service on computers throughout a forest, each instance must have its own SPN. A given service instance can have multiple SPNs if there are multiple names that clients might use for authentication. For example, an SPN always includes the name of the host computer on which the service instance is running, so a service instance might register an SPN for each name or alias of its host. -- **Old UAC Value** \[Type = UnicodeString\]: specifies flags that control password, lockout, disable/enable, script, and other behavior for the user or computer account. This parameter contains the previous value of **userAccountControl** attribute of computer object. +- **Old UAC Value** [Type = UnicodeString]: specifies flags that control password, lockout, disable/enable, script, and other behavior for the user or computer account.

User’s or Computer’s account UAC flags.” from largest to smallest. Compare each property value to the flags value in the event. If the flags value in the event is greater than or equal to the property value, then the property is "set" and applies to that event. Subtract the property value from the flags value in the event and note that the flag applies and then go on to the next flag. - -Here's an example: Flags value from event: 0x15 - -Decoding: - -• PASSWD\_NOTREQD 0x0020 - -• LOCKOUT 0x0010 - -• HOMEDIR\_REQUIRED 0x0008 - -• (undeclared) 0x0004 - -• ACCOUNTDISABLE 0x0002 - -• SCRIPT 0x0001 - -0x0020 > 0x15, so PASSWD\_NOTREQD does not apply to this event - -0x10 < 0x15, so LOCKOUT applies to this event. 0x15 - 0x10 = 0x5 - -0x4 < 0x5, so the undeclared value is set.
