When try to open Outlook warnings in System log: source LsaSrv Event
ID 40960 and 40961 category: SPNEGO (Negotiator) ,repeatdly and
source Kerberos Event ID 10 category none appears once.
When user logs on in the Application log source Userenv, event id
1054.
Hope we can find the answer.

So, you see? Not a reverse lookup registration issue apparently.
The reflex action of attributing all cases of 40960/40961 errors to
PTR registrations is wrong. Also, if you understand how DNS works and
why you use PTR records, you'll see you can live without them.
Sometimes. Yes, some diagnostic tools will barf but it hardly ever
results in loss of functionality if you don't have them set. As I
mentioned earlier, the initial DNS rfcs' don't even mention PTR
records and in the MS KB we reviewed earlier, a second option is to
turn off the registration to reduce unnecessary network traffic.
Just trying to share my view of the problem and solution.

Ahh, not trying to pick the post, but he said he has a reverse zone, however
didn't mention if a PTR existed. Of course we'll assume one exists and this
brings us back to square one.

There is one other thing that I've seen this associated with. It's something
in the security policy of the local DC that could be causing it.
Interestingly enough, we saw on XP desktops getting 40960 and 1058 errors. A
PTR exists for it too. A restart fixes it. There is a KB fix that addresses
it. I'm not saying it is related or not, but an interesting issue. I have to
dig up my notes on this one. I'll post back.
