Reoccurring event log message

[Guest]

I have an advanced 2000 server and keep receiving the following error
messages every couple of minutes. I am not that familiar with DNS, so any
assistance or direction to resources will greatly be appreciated. Please see
the following two messages from the event log.

Thanks,

Ron

Most likely these events are caused from you having your ISP's DNS in TCP/IP
properties.

Most likely when you promoted your server to a DC, it configured itself as a
DNS server. So, in TCP/IP properties, this DC and all member clients must
use this DCs address for DNS only

Change the DNS server in TCP/IP properties to its own address only, run
ipconfig /flushdns ipconfig /registerdns then restart the Netlogon Service.

I have the same problem.

In my case, the server is the PDC and the DNS for the AD is on this server.
This DNS is a root DNS. If the IP for this machine is placed at the top of
the NIC's DNS entrys, the 5774 error problem dissapears. However, this
machine will not be able to resolve external domain names either with a Ping
command or from the browser for example.

It appears that even though the ISP's lookup DNS is listed second and third
on the NIC's list of DNS servers, those DNS will not be used to lookup domain
names that are not returned by the local DNS.

The Local DNS server properties has a forwarders tab which should forward
all unresolved requrest to another DNS IP but this function is disabled
apparently because this is a root DNS server.

Delete the forward lookup zone named with a dot ".". Then you can enable a
forwarder, you must remove the ISP DNS from TCP/IP properties.
