I recently downloaded the IE6.0 and installed it on a NT 4.0 SP6a system. After IE6 installation I did the Windows Update story downloading and installing security patches. After this was done the next boot made the following message:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: NETLOGON
Event Category: None
Event ID: 5719
Date: 12.10.01
Time: 09:56:08
User: N/A
Computer:
Description:
No Windows NT Domain Controller is available for domain . (This event is expectedand can be ignored when booting with the 'No Net' Hardware Profile.) The following error occurred:
The specified procedure could not be found.

Data:
0000: 7a 00 00 c0 z..?

I tried to uninstall all patches and IE6 but the error is still there. When I inspect my files on the local disk some of them is compressed! One of the files witch is compressed is NETLOGON.DLL! I know the error is linked to this compression and I want to uncompress these files. How do I uninstall thecompression on files that are in use? Making a copy of the file, delete the original, rename the copy doesn?t work. If anyone can make the right answer for this there will be points available!

I did a quick search on Technet and they had an article for your event id. The article (Q247922) suggested this:

This behavior can occur when your server is connected to a switch that has the spanning tree 'portfast' setting disabled.
RESOLUTION:
To work around this behavior, enable the spanning tree 'portfast' setting on the switch. For information about the proper use of the spanning tree 'portfast' setting, consult the documentation provided with the switch.

I hope it helps.

The recommendations in article Q247922 have been tried earlier with no result. I am in fact behind a switch so this could be the case but it did not help. Microsoft have several other recommendations for WINS settings as well but they have all been tried with no result! I guess the problem could be fixed by reinstalling NT from the bottom and apply the SP6 but I will try all other resources first.

Thank you for your contribution.

Is that all you did ?
Did you make any other changes on your Network?
Did you try to ping any other workstation?
It seems like it can not see the domain.
Make sure your NIC is working properly, that everything is connected properly.
Then re-install Service Pack 6.
If all this is Ok then check this out:

If it doesn't work just e-mail me back

Good luck,

Yes that?s what actually happened! I have reapplied SP6 several times; I also updated the network card driver and reapplied SP6. There were no changes to the network the tragic week I installed IE6. The IE6 installation updated many services on the computer and downloaded a huge security update when I executed the ?Windows Update? after the installation of IE6. As I explained in the Q there was no salvation in uninstalling patches or IE6. I still believe the problem lives with the ?compressed? DLL files. When I try to log on the Event ID: 5719 is triggered and I cannot log in, after several login attempts I am authenticated with the CACHE login account locally. After login all is fine except for the logging of Event ID: 5719 every 15 minutes. When logged in I administer firewalls, administer domain controllers, read logs and monitors my domain as normal, everything works fine! STRANGE!

I?m glad for your contribution.

I can think of 3 options:
1: try to copy/ decompress the file via e share from another pc.
2:Setprfdc.exe is included with Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4. SETPRFDC uses additions to the Netlogon.dll file to tell it who it should attempt to set up its secure channel with. Usage:

SETPRFDC <TrustedDomain> <ListOfDcsInTrustedDomain>

SETPRFDC allows you to supply a list of domain controllers in the order you would like them tried.

You do not need to restart your computer when you use SETPRFDC.

You must manually copy Setprfdc.exe to the %windir%\System32 folder from the Service Pack 4 CD-ROM. If you downloaded Service Pack 4, you must extract the SP4 files with the "/x" switch and then manually copy Setprfdc.exe to the %windir%\System32 folder.

NOTE: Setprfdc.exe is available only in the Service Pack 4 full download version, not in the Service Pack 4 standard download version.

3: remove the pc from the domain, and it back back again.

Netlogon Event 5719 on a domain controller:

You may have run out of buffer space in the NetBT datagram buffer.

The default size of the NetBT datagram buffer is 128KB.

Use tip 1243 to set the MaxDgramBuffering value name to a data value of 0x4000.

Restart the Netlogon service or restart your domain controller.

See this link for the aforementioned tip 1243 and for the full contents of this resolution:
