I am receiving a Netlogon error in my event viewer. The server takes an extremely long time to boot-up and periodically throughout the day the server will slow down and generate more netlogon errors. All users are able to logon to the server with no difficulties. Here is one of the error messages.

Event Type: Error
Event Source: NETLOGON
Event Category: None
Event ID: 5774
Computer: HSS_SERVER
Description:
Registration of DNS record '_gc._tcp.Default-First-Site._sites.HSSNT.hsscpa.com. 600 in SRV 0 100 3268 hss_server.HSSNT.hsscpa.com.' Failed with the following error:
DNS server unable to interpret format.
Data:
0000: 29 23 00 00 )#..

There are other error messages. However, they all follow the same format with the exception of which DNS site is failing. I have an idea as to what is causing this error, but I would like some confirmation before proceeding with a fix.

Thank You

It cpould be that the DNS is not specified on the advanced tcp/ip settings tab or if it is listed make sure the AD dns is listed as first or check this technet atricle Q259277

Good luck

I had already tried adding the
IP address of the server in DNS. Unfortunately this broke access to the internet. I was able to make use of the article listed however and disable DNS altogether.
