Could this be because your namespace isn't setup per Microsoft
recommendations. In every document I've ever seen from MS about setting up
DNS & AD, namespaces are always setup using dotted domain names like
internal.yourdomain.com for your private LAN and yourdomain.com for your
public resources. We have AD and DNS running like this in dozens of places
without issue and we have had SP4 running over a month now and none of our
DCs have exhibited this problem.
Q285983, http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;285983,
talks about using yourdomain.internal for inside and yourdomain.com for
outside. Either way is fine; however, if you use just internal as your
domain name that's when you run into this problem. 285983 even references
Q300684 referenced in the original post. It states "[a]s a general rule,
Microsoft recommends that you register DNS domain names for internal and
external namespaces with Internet authorities. This includes the DNS names
of Active Directory domains, unless such names are sub-domains of names
that are registered by your organization name. For example,
"corp.example.com" is a sub-domain of "example.com". When you register DNS
names with Internet authorities, it prevents possible name collisions if
registration for the same DNS domain is requested by another organization,
or if your organization merges, acquires or is acquired by another
organization that uses the same DNS names."
Namespace setup is critical to 2k and 2003 (in 2003 you can change the name
if you so desire). If it's not right to start with you're all but
guaranteed to run into problems. Technet has several excellent articles on
namespace selection and DNS setup.
