When I run a DCDIAG on mij W2k3 server I get the following output:

Domain Controller Diagnosis

Performing initial setup:
Done gathering initial info.

Doing initial required tests

Testing server: Default-First-Site-Name\ZEUS
Starting test: Connectivity
The host b6b4dfa9-2dd1-47fd-8a80-24558752ee7f._msdcs.test.local could
not be resolved to an

Although the Guid DNS name
(b6b4dfa9-2dd1-47fd-8a80-24558752ee7f._msdcs.test.local) couldn't be
resolved, the server name (zeus.test.local) resolved to the IP
address (10.31.1.160) and was pingable. Check that the IP address is
registered correctly with the DNS server.

Hello Sjaak,

Sounds like DNS error. Please describe your network setup, how many DC's
and sites, how is DNS setup? PLease post an ipconfig /all from all DC/DNS
servers here.

Best regards

I already created a new PTR record for DC1. I renewed the NIC drivers on DC1.
The problem occurs on DC1.
