SYMPTOMS
Immediately after you join a Microsoft Windows 2000-based client computer to a Windows 2000 domain, the following event ID messages may be logged in the system log of the client computer: Type: Error

Event ID: 5789

Source: NETLOGON

Description:

Attempt to update DNS Host Name of the computer object in Active Directory failed. The updated value was ' '. The following error occurred: %%2148074290

Type: Error

Event ID: 5788

Source: NETLOGON

Description:

Attempt to update HOST Service Principal Names (SPNs) of the computer object in Active Directory failed. The updated values were '' and ''. The following error occurred: %%2148074290



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the new computer name is not available to the domain. You must restart your computer after you join a client to the domain. After you restart your computer the dNSHostName attribute and the servicePrincipalName attribute are registered in the Active Directory directory service.



MORE INFORMATION
You can ignore the 5788 and 5789 event ID messages that are logged immediately after you join a Windows 2000 domain.

If you continue to receive these event ID messages, confirm that Domain Name System (DNS) is configured correctly. Also, make sure that there are no permissions issues or disjoint namespace issues.
