What is the exact verbatim of the description of the event you're receiving?

Normally )99.9% of the time) it's caused by your machines NOT using the
internal DNS server in their IP properties, and *possibly* listing your
ISP's. AD *requires* DNS, since it stores all it'd data in there. AD always
'asks" DNS, where is this or where is that in my domain. If the ISP is
listed, then all sorts of problems *will* occur. Guaranteed to occur.

Recommendations:
1. Use only your internal DNS. This applies to all machines, DCs and
clients.

2. Set updates on the zone properties to at least "Yes".

3. Insure that your AD domain name is NOT a single label name ("domain.com"
instead of just "domain") or numerous other problems will arise due to this.

4. Then at a cmd prompt on the DC:
ipconfig /registerdns
net stop netlogon
net start netlogon

5. To achieve efficient internet name resolution, configure a forwarder on
your DNS. If the option is grayed out, delete the Root zone. This articl
shows how to configure a forwarder and delete the root zone:

If the above steps are true or you've followed them, and you're still having
problems, then we'll need to see an ipconfig /all from your DC. Also if you
can also please tell us what your AD DNS Domain name should be (exact
spelling). This will help in diagnosis. It may come down to other issues.
