Hello Matjaz,
Thank you for your post.
There are multiple reason "why" a particular machine may log an Event ID
5719. Some of the most common reasons within Windows 2000 are issues with
DNS, WINS, or duplicate IP address.
Issues with DNS:
1. Missing Active Directory Zone with DNS
Symptoms:
=========
Windows 2000 domain controllers may log one or more of the following events
in the System event log:
Event ID 5774
Netlogon
Registration of the DNS record <record_name_and_dns_info> failed.
-or-
Event ID 5775
Netlogon
Deregistration of the DNS record <record_name_and_dns_info> failed.
-or-
Event ID 5781
Netlogon
Dynamic registration or deregistration of one or more DNS records failed.
More Information:
==============
You must have a DNS server installed and configured for Active Directory
and the associated client software to function correctly. Microsoft
recommends that you use Microsoft DNS server, which is supplied with
Windows 2000 Server as your DNS server. However, Microsoft DNS server is
not required. The DNS server that you use must support the Service Resource
Record (SRV RR) Requests for Comments (RFC) 2052, and the dynamic update
protocol (RFC 2136). Use the DNS Manager Microsoft Management Console (MMC)
snap-in to verify that the appropriate zones and resource records are
created for each DNS zone. Active Directory creates its SRV RRs in the
following folders:
- _Msdcs/Dc/_Sites/Default-first-site-name/_Tcp
- _Msdcs/Dc/_Tcp
In these locations, an SRV RR is displayed for the following services:
- _kerberos
- _ldap
You can have a Windows 2000 Domain Controller refresh it's SRV Records by
restarting the Netlogon Service. (Make sure the "Prefer DNS" IP Setting on
the network adapter is pointing to proper DNS Server hosting your Windows
2000 Active Directory Zone)
2. Multiple HOST Records
If your Windows 2000 Active Directory Zone is in place and DNS is setup
properly. It may be possibile there is an additional HOST record within DNS
for the Domain Controller referencing a bad IP Address. The corrective
action is to purge HOST Record from the DNS Zone.

Issues with WINS:
1. Bad Netbios Records within the WINS Database.
If Windows 2000 is configure properly, WINS may not be needed unless you
are using multiple subnets with downlevel clients (Windows NT/ME/9x.) Bad
Netbios Records may conflict with the clients finding the Domain
Controller:
a) If the clients DNS Suffix is not configure properly. (example: The
computer name is COMPERNAME. instead of COMPUTERNAME.domain.com) The client
will be force to locate the Domain Controller by Broadcast or WINS. The
client must locate a 1Ch group record which is a list of the domain
controller for that particular domain. If the client is unable to locate
the 1Ch Record then it will logon the user with cache credentials up the 10
times. To correct the issues have the clients' "Prefer DNS" IP Setting on
the network adapter is pointing to proper DNS Server hosting your Windows
2000 Active Directory Zone and change the computer name by using the "MORE"
button to edit the DNS Suffix.
b) Same conditions as explain in condition "a", except there is a corrupted
or incorrect 1ch Record with in the WINS database. You must search the WINS
database and delete the record.
Issues with Duplicate IP Addresses:
1. Duplicate IP Address on the network conflicting with the Domain
Controller
Event ID: 4319
NetBT
A duplicate name has been detected on the TCP network. The IP address of
the node that sent the message is in the data. Use nbtstat -n in a command
window to see which name is in the Conflict state.
