Hi Everybody:

I have W2K SP4 Domain controller with windows 2000 client.
My DNS is installed on my domain controller for internal LAN (domain name -
abc.com)
domain controller has static ip address as 192.168.0.200 and since this is
my DNS server also i configure "Preferred DNS" in Network settings same as
192.168.0.200
My ISPs DNS address as FORWARDER in DNS.

Now my clients has USERENV event ID 1000 in the application log.
"Windows cannot determine the username or computer name" Return value
(1722).
All clients are getting the Automatic DHCP Address from my Firewall Router
and when i run nslookup on my client i get
Default Server: "Some value".covad.net"
Address: "My DNS Address from COVAD"

On my domain controller i am getting NETLOGOIN event ID 5782 in the system
log:
"Dynamic registeration or deregestration of one or more DNS record failed
with the following error:
No DNS server configured for local sytem."

When I run NSLOOKUP on the command prompt on Domain controller :
Can not find server name for address 192.168.0.200: Non Existent Domain
Default Server: Unknown
Address: 192.168.0.200

Any help.

thanks

Rajiv

You shouldn't use the router for DHCP in an AD environment, you should use
Win2k DHCP.
That being said, the problem is your ISP's DNS in your TCP/IP setup you must
use your local DNS for all machines.
On my domain controller i am getting NETLOGOIN event ID 5782 in the
system log:
"Dynamic registeration or deregestration of one or more DNS record
failed with the following error:
No DNS server configured for local sytem."

Can you please post an ipconfig /all from the DC and the actual domain name
from ADU&C?
Do you get this error often or only at startup?
When I run NSLOOKUP on the command prompt on Domain controller :
Can not find server name for address 192.168.0.200: Non Existent
Domain Default Server: Unknown
Address: 192.168.0.200

This is nslookup performing a reverse lookup on the IP it is pointing to.
You can ignore this or you can create a reverse lookup for the IP.
 
Thanks Kevin, I really appreciate your help.

When i run ipconfig /all on my domain controller i get the following:

Your ipconfig appears to be OK but I would need to verify you domain name
from AD Users & Computers.

In your DNS server's forward lookup zone on the legalzoom.com forward lookup
zone properties set "Allow dynamic updates" to "Yes"
Do you have these subfolders in the zone?
_msdcs
_sites
_tcp
_udp

As I stated in my first reply make sure your clients are getting the DC's
address only for DNS

You really should disable DHCP on the router and configure and authorize
DHCP on your server with a minimum of these options:
003 Router
006 DNS servers with you DC's address published only
015 DNS Domain name with the name of you AD Domain

I have LEGALZOOm.COM in my AD Users and computername.

Yes i have all these subfolders in the Legalzoom.com Domain and "Allow
dynamic update" set to "Yes"
As I stated in my first reply make sure your clients are getting the DC's
address only for DNS
On my client network setup i have "Obtain IP Address automatically" and
"Obtain DNS server address automatically"
all clients have DHCP and DNS from my Router.

OK I will make these changes.

thanks.

and "Obtain DNS server address automatically"
all clients have DHCP and DNS from my Router.

This is the problem as I stated in previous posts disable DHCP on the router
and use Win2k DHCP or at the very least manually put in the IP of the DC
*ONLY *in the clients for DNS. How many times am I going to have to repeat
this?
 
The server and all clients should ONLY point at the DC for DNS. You should not use DHCP on your router to give out addresses
to the client. You should be using the DHCP server that comes with the server. Then make sure that you give out the DC's
address as the DNS server for the clients.

Thank you,
