Event Type: Warning
Event Source: NTDS Replication
Event Category: DS RPC Client
Event ID: 2088
Date:  13/04/2006
Time:  7:34:54 a.m.
User:  NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON
Computer: SVR-01
Description:
Active Directory could not use DNS to resolve the IP address of the source domain controller listed below. To maintain the consistency of Security groups, group policy, users and computers and their passwords, Active Directory successfully replicated using the NetBIOS or fully qualified computer name of the source domain controller.

Invalid DNS configuration may be affecting other essential operations on member computers, domain controllers or application servers in this Active Directory forest, including logon authentication or access to network resources.

You should immediately resolve this DNS configuration error so that this domain controller can resolve the IP address of the source domain controller using DNS.

Alternate server name:
 svr-03
Failing DNS host name:
 8a6a6d58-8dfc-4940-90ba-51f8f2cb2467._msdcs.keylogix.local

NOTE: By default, only up to 10 DNS failures are shown for any given 12 hour period, even if more than 10 failures occur.  To log all individual failure events, set the following diagnostics registry value to 1:

Registry Path:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Diagnostics\22 DS RPC Client

User Action:

 1) If the source domain controller is no longer functioning or its operating system has been reinstalled with a different computer name or NTDSDSA object GUID, remove the source domain controller's metadata with ntdsutil.exe, using the steps outlined in MSKB article 216498.

 2) Confirm that the source domain controller is running Active directory and is accessible on the network by typing "net view \\" or "ping ".

 3) Verify that the source domain controller is using a valid DNS server for DNS services, and that the source domain controller's host record and CNAME record are correctly registered, using the DNS Enhanced version of DCDIAG.EXE available on http://www.microsoft.com/dns

  dcdiag /test:dns

 4) Verify that that this destination domain controller is using a valid DNS server for DNS services, by running the DNS Enhanced version of DCDIAG.EXE command on the console of the destination domain controller, as follows:

  dcdiag /test:dns

 5) For further analysis of DNS error failures see KB 824449:   http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=824449

Answer : Domain Controller Issues at boot up however network is operating correct after boot

I understand.

The DHCP error is not an error at all - so you can ignore that.

The KDC error is normally fixed by the installation of KB812499, but that's for 2000 and thus why I asked if this was an upgrade.  If that key is available, you may want to test the value out.

If domain functionality is good, then monitor it for awhile to see what else may show itself during normal use.  Perhaps, save the logs (if you need them) and clear them out so you can watch things better.  Do this after the reboot and things settle down.
