TITLE   :The "domain<1c>" Name Is Occasionally in Conflict
PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows NT
PROD/VER::4.0
OPER/SYS:
KEYWORDS:kbWinNT400nospFix

======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you shut down a backup domain controller that communicates with a Windows
Internet Name Service (WINS) server over a wide area network (WAN), the
domain<1C> name may sometimes enter a conflicting state. This behavior may
occur if you run Windows NT 4.0-based domain controllers in a WAN environment
that uses central WINS servers. When this problem occurs, the following
information is logged on the backup domain controllers:

   Event Type: Error
   Event Source: NetBT
   Event Category: None
   Event ID: 4320
   Date: 11.10.2001
   Time: 12:42:17
   User: N/A
   Computer: N0001009
   Description:
   Another machine has sent a name release message to this machine probably
   because a duplicate name has been detected on the TCP network. The IP address
   of the node that sent the message is in the data. Use nbtstat -n in a command
   window to see which name is in the Conflict state.

   Data:
   0000: 00040000 00540001 00000000 c00010e0
   0010: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
   0020: 00000000 00000000 0168fc82

CAUSE
=====

The server incorrectly determines that the name is in conflict when it receives
the name-release message from WINS because the server does not check the name
type.
