Hello,

One of our Domain Controllers is prompting warning messages to MOM:

The DC Locator service is not advertising. This means that no clients
will be able to connect to this Domain Controller.
When queried, the DC Locator returned a remote DC (servername),
instead of local DC ().

I ran DCDIAG and alla the tests passed except "frsevent".

Is there anyone who could help?

The system is Windows 2003 Standard Server...
