I'm running an entirely of two Window 2003 servers in an Windows 2003 domain & forest. One server is the domain controller /w DNS, the other is a member server with a static IP address. The server member server's netbt was throwing the following into the System event log:

--

Event Type: Error
Event Source: NetBT
Event Category: None
Event ID: 4321
Date:  2/3/2004
Time:  7:46:02 PM
User:  N/A
Computer: QASQL1
Description:
The name "AB             :1d" could not be registered on the Interface with IP address 10.11.20.50. The machine with the IP address 10.11.20.10 did not allow the name to be claimed by this machine.

--

In testing, I ran ipconfig /registerdns and received the following error: Registration of DNS records failed: The system cannot find the file specified.

--

When I started the DHCP Client service, which was set to manual -- it worked just fine -- and no more errors....

Is this normal behavior?

Sure is. That service MUST stay on, whether set to DHCP or static.

Thanks Ace, I suspect my DB admin turned it off hoping to clean another
clock cycle for SQL 2000. Unfortunately, I think the event logging lost
more that in clock cycles........
