I am getting many of these 5775 errors:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: NETLOGON
Event Category: None
Event ID: 5775
Date: 9/6/2003
Time: 5:53:10 PM
User: N/A
Computer: MyComputerName
Description:
Deregistration of the DNS record 'gc._msdcs.MyDomain.com. 600 IN A 10.10.1.1' failed with the following error:
DNS server unable to interpret format.
Data:
0000: 29 23 00 00 )#..

These are the only ones I am getting in the Event Viewer in the System Logs. The IP's are sometimes different but mostly nonexistant.. It seems this may be an easy fix but I am worried of compunding the trouble if I don't hit it right the first time.

Info. Dynamic IP. Provided by my ISP's DHCP server. DNS Servers are also at the ISP I do know those. Domain is not publically registered. My ISP knows nothing about the domain but they have given me the permission I need. Any suggestions on how to get rid of these 5775 errors? I looked at

but I don't quite understand what they are saying to fix this specific error. It's in the middle of the article. Thanks.

Where is the DNS server that you are pointed to? If the DNS server is at
you ISP, are you located there or accessing them through a VPN? The IP
address that is stated in the log is not routable.

Can you give me an overview of where the DNS server is that is handling your
Active Directory records, and what the overall infrastructure is like? This
will go a long way in resolving this, but I suspect that it has to do with
where the records for the DNS are located, though I'm not sure how this is
working at all - if it IS working at all.

It works well enough that Exchange 2000 will be able to install. That is really all I need the Domain for. The DNS server is local on my Windows 2000 SP3. It's a stand alone Domain. Not registered publically. So I believe the DNS records are in C:\WINNT subfol;der somewhere. But I have sret TCP\IP to obtain a IP address automatically from my ISP's DNS servers using DHCP. Is that what you wanted to know? Thanks.

What Rick is pointing to is that you need to make sure that you only use
YOUR internal DNS server, and not the ISP's. That will cause numerous
errors. You can force DNS, even if using DNCP from the ISP, to use itself
for DNS. Then in DNS you can set a forwarder
(http://support.microsoft.com/?id=300202) to your ISP's DNS server for
efficient Internet resolution.

Actually, AD domain controllers and DNS services require that you have a
static (fixed) IP address. If you can use some sort of router (Linksys,
Netgear, etc), you would be better off to create your domain on the private
side of the router and port remap services (such as mail) to the Exchange
server.

If offering mail on the Internet (for inbound), it's way tougher with a
dynamic IP address (since it constantly changes) for efficient mail
services. If you want to go with it, you may find a Dynamic DNS service to
handle the IP changes with your external domain name, such as dyndns.com or
others out there.

Not trying to discourage you, just pointing out some facts.
Hope that helps.

I do use dyndns.com. But my IP address changes so rarely. This one I have had for going on three months now. It's not easy using dyndns when that is the case. Yes that helped. I'll look into it when I get back to the server. Thanks.
 
Ok, good luck. Let us know how you make out.
