I've seen exactly the same when an Infrastructure Master was missing. Check all FSMO owners to be sure that they really DO exist. To do this, it's best to run
DCDIAG /v /test:KnowsOfRoleHolders
You will need to run this in each domain for the domain FSMO roles, but it
will query the domain controllers directly for who they know of and can they
be contacted ("have you heard from this DC lately").
This is superior to "NETDOM QUERY FSMO" which seems to just blindly return
the information without any verification.

When I had a similar error it was because the "domain naming master" was not
available (server had failed and been rebuilt but the FSMO role had not been
seized)

Good evening all. A W2K DC was upgraded to W3K and it is also a DNS server.
No problem at all with prepping and upgrading from W2K->W3K. I am getting
the error below every few minutes. Anyone have a solution?
