We have a Windows 2000 domain with two domain controllers. Various roles
are shared amongst the DCs. The DCs are also DNS and DHCP servers. They have
no other roles. There are no errors or warnings in either of the DCs event
logs. DCs are fully patched.

I have about 12 XP computers out of 25 that will get the below listed
error messages in their event logs.

First Error:

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: LSASRV
Event Category: SPNEGO (Negotiator)
Event ID: 40961
Date: 5/19/2008
Time: 5:15:45 AM
User: N/A
Computer: W-CEO-1
Description:
The Security System could not establish a secured connection with the server
ldap/smith6.jsmith.com/[email protected]. No authentication protocol was
available.

(Smith6 is a DC).

Second Error on same machine:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Userenv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1030
Date: 5/19/2008
Time: 3:37:45 AM
User: SMITH\anne
Computer: W-CEO-1
Description:
Windows cannot query for the list of Group Policy objects. A message that
describes the reason for this was previously logged by the policy engine.

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.


I have run netdiag on these machines with no errors. I have also run (on
the DCs) DCDiag and have no warnings or errors.

It seems to me that the first error message I listed is the main problem.
I cannot understand how the XP workstation thinks the path to Smith6 could be
the one listed in the error message.

These errors will start between 8 and 24 hours after the XP computer is
rebooted. As a test, I took one of these "problem" machines into the server
room and connected it directly to one of the switches. The machine ran for
over two weeks without a single error in the event log (of couse the computer
was just sitting and not being used by anyone, but I am not sure that would
matter).

I have serached support.microsoft.com as well as the various newsgroups
here, but cannot seem to find anything that really matches this problem.

Any help that you could render would be greatly appreciated.
 
Hello LHargrove,

Please post an unedited ipconfig /all from one client and your DC/DNS servers.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Here is the info from smith6, one of the DCs:

Here is the ipconfig info from one of the problem computers:

C:\Documents and Settings\Anne.SMITH>


The addresses of 192.168.1.15 and 192.168.1.16 are the DCs. I also realize
that the two DCs are pointing at each other for DNS. I have read a lot of
pros and cons about doing this, and it doesn't seem to affect this problem no
matter how I set it.

Thanks again for your help.
