Noah, do these event correspond to the time when your VPN servers are connecting to your network? The last time I saw this, it was coming from VPN client connections, and the culprit clients usually have invalid "wacky" characters in their names. The last I heard about this, it is "normal". I don't know if this applies to you, but I would watch and see if there is a correlation. Sincerely,

I had seen that article and none of the proposed solutions seemed to work. The hotfix listed there is actually for 2000. Does not seem to be causing any problems. I guess I was just wondering if it indicated any potential problems. -- nme -----Original Message----- From: Lou Vega [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 09, 2004 10:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] DNS Event ID 5504 For all things Event ID related, I've usually found good answers here at eventid.net Try this solution: http://www.eventid.net/display.asp?eventid=5504&eventno=642&source=DNS&phase =1 r/ Lou -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Your Name Sent: Tuesday, November 09, 2004 1:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] DNS Event ID 5504 Hi - (Seems like we've covered this recently, but I could find nothing in the archives....) I have a W2k SP4 DNS server that keeps coughing up these errors in the DNS Event log: "The DNS server encountered an invalid domain name in a packet from 206.13.29.12. The packet is rejected." That particular address is my primary forwarder, but there are others. The errors are every few minutes. Flushing the cache and restarting the service seemed to help for about 15 minutes. Also, "Secure Cache Against Pollution" is checked. Any ideas what might be causing these? Thanks. -- nme List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
