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:
