Hourly event log from LSASRV



I know this is not causing any issues, but it is something that has
been bothering me for quite some time now. I have a Windows 2003
Server configured as a standalone server (no AD) on a small network.
It has DNS configured on it and uses itself as a DNS server. The
entire network is behind a firewall and DNS is configured to use the
firewall as a forwarder. There are anywhere from 1 to 3 other machines
connected to the network at various times as well as a few hardware
devices (print server and wireless access points). The same machine
has DHCP enabled on it and it is configured to give out itself as the
DNS server and to do dynamic updates for all clients.

The thing that is bothering me is that I have been getting the
following error message in my System event log always on a one hour
interval:

Source: LSASRV
Category: SPNEGO (Negotiator)
EventID: 40960
User: N/A
The Security System detected an authentication error for the server
DNS/server.domain.local. The failure code from authentication protocol
Kerberos was "There are currently no logon servers available to service
the logon request.
(0xc000005e)".

I guess I should mention that I have a forward lookup domain,
domain.local (clearly renamed) configured in DNS and the machine is
configured with that domain as its DNS suffix. This domain is also
configured as the DNS Suffix in DHCP.

I have researched this issue for quite some time on and off, whenever I
get annoyed it is there, for the past year and have never been able to
put my hand on why it shows up. My best guess is that the server is
trying to do a dynamic DNS update against itself, which it is
configured to do, but fails to negotiate any security protocols with
itself. Why is beyond me at this point.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
ZaDDaZ
