I *think* there was an updated version of netdiag that came out. It might be useful to ensure you have the latest.

Also, have you verified that the file exists?

If neither of those relates, can you give some more information? Are you running this remotely from your desktop? From the console? Same results regardless?

Subject: [ActiveDir] Unreadable Netlogon.dns file
Date: Mon, 07 Nov 2005 14:20:14 -0600

I have a very odd problem.  I am testing Windows 2003 Active Directory
(running in W2K Native Mode) and on the W2K3 DCs, I get the following
message when running NETDIAG:

DNS test . . . . . . . . . . . . . : Failed
    [FATAL] Could not open file C:\WINNT\system32\config\netlogon.dns
for reading.
    [FATAL] Could not open file C:\WINNT\system32\config\netlogon.dns
for reading.
    [FATAL] Could not open file C:\WINNT\system32\config\netlogon.dns
for reading.
    [FATAL] No DNS servers have the DNS records for this DC registered.

I have checked security on the 2 W2K3 DCs (which are in different
domains, but are both experiencing this), but can't find any permission
that they're missing.

Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Scott
