I haven't tried it yet, and just to point out and mention, one of my clients
had this popping up a couple of years ago. I researched it and found, as
Kevin said, that this is primarily caused by an illegal character in a host
name. Illegal character such as a space or underscore. I found two Mac
machines with those characters in their names, and guess what, I changed the
names and the error disappeared.3

Kevin asked if there are any names in your infrastructure with an illegal
character, but I'm not sure if I saw your response, unless my newsreader
didn't display all the responses.
