event id 1000 return value 1722

[jasonb]

on a client machine, this is the error that i have in my
event viewer over and
over and over:

Event ID: 1000
Event Source: Userenv
Description:
Windows cannot determine the user or computer name. Return
value (1722).

at first you see the error and you think ahhh this is easy
and it sounds easy if you read the article 261007 (on the
microsoft knowledge base) it says the behavior
can occur if the address for the configured preferred DNS
server on the client is invalid or unreachable.

too bad everything is set correctly here

i am unable to find anything else to help me with this. i
have tried removing it from the domain and placing it
back. i have tried removing it from the domain and
deleting the computer account, then placing it back in the
domain......... nothing is getting this error to go away.

any ideas anyone?

i have done all the obvious things and it will not go
away..... everything is functioning fine but obviously
there is a setting somewhere that is making it write to
the event viewer.

please somebody help

thanks

You say the DNS addresses are set correctly. Now let me ask, what DNS
addresses are they? If they are your ISP's DNS addresses, they need to be
removed.

If this is your case, the ISP's DNS need to be removed from your DC and all
your clients. This error usually (99% of the time) results from listing your
ISP's DNS, even if they are in there along with your internal DNS. So only
use your internal DNS.

To get efficient
Internet resolution, use a forwarder. If the forwarding option is grayed
out, delete the Root zone that DCPROMO may have created, refresh the console
and try again. If not sure how, this article explains both of these steps:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=300202

Now if this is not your case, we would need more info. Can you post an
ipconfig /all of the DC and the client this is happening to? That will help
us get a start on diagnosing this.
Thanks
