Hi all! I've got a new 2003 server that I just promoted to a DC and I've got some errors in the event logs whenever I reboot. Server takes a while (20) minutes to get to the login screen...

In the app logs, I have 3096 (Primay Domain Controller for domain cannot be found) and NEGO error 40960.

In the DS logs, I have 2088 Active Directory could not use DNS to resolve the IP address of the source domain controller listed below but there is a 1394 error right after that that says All problems preventing updates to the Active Directory Database have been cleared. New updates to the Active Directory database are succeeding. The Net Logon service has restarted.

KB articles 824217 talk about the NEGO errors...I have ran dcdiag and netdiag on this server and it comes up clean...Are these just erroneous errors?

 
Do you have 2000 or 2003 environment? I thought this was an issue in 2000...

DCDIAG comes up completely clean...Scavenged all stale records...

I've got 4 other DC's/DNS servers and I didn't see this on any of them. Uninstalled DNS, rebooted, and reinstalled and same issue.

If I do use the other DNS servers for the primary and itself as the secondary, no errors...Should I do this? Just wasn't a problem with my other DC's...
