Posted September 15, 200816 yr We've had this error showing up for a while on XP clients (SP2 and SP3) in the Event log and can't find out what is wrong: Event Type: Error Event Source: NETLOGON Event Category: None Event ID: 5779 Date: 9/15/2008 Time: 3:12:22 PM User: N/A Computer: <clientname> Description: The site name for this computer is 'scdl.local'. That site name is not a valid site name. A site name must be a valid DNS label. Rename the site to be a valid name. The site name is valid. It is the only domain we have configured and is listed in DNS, with all associated SRV records, etc. DNS is AD-Integrated on our domain controllers. There aren't any error messages in the DNS Event logs. I haven't been able to find very much information about why this error would be displaying, but an event is recorded on every reboot. Since this is a valid site name and DNS is fine, what else can be done to fix this? TIA Rick
