I have Smal Business Server 2000. My hunt started with the fact that the exchange store wold not mount and I read some articles about that possibly being tied to DNS. Looking at the DNS log I see a warning with Event ID 414, "You have a single label domain name" and that is not true. Prior to the new NIC I never received that worning. When I stop and start the DNA service I get the Stop event reported, a Warning of event 414, and then the event that DNS started. My SOA and NS records for that zone are missing the domain suffix. I manually adjusted those records and reloaded the zone and they get reset back to the values missing the domain suffix. I am using an active directory-integrated zone. I have checked the registry keys mentioned in article 257623 and run the script as well. I still get the same error.

Netdiag fails on the LDAP Test and gives a warning that the default SPN registration for 'HOST/SYNACT1' is missing on DC 'SYNACT1". [FATAL] The default SPNs are not properly registered on any DCs.
ipconfig /all values are...
Host Name: SYNACT1
Primary DNS Suffix: SynACT.net
Node Type: Hybrid
IP Routing Enable: Yes
WINS Proxy Enabled: No
DNS Suffix Search List: SynACT.net

AD Domain Name is SynACT.net

Forward lookup zone is synact.net and my Allow dynamic updates? setting is set to "Only Secure Updates".
