SYMPTOMS

When you start a Windows based server, Event Viewer may record an event that resembles the following:
Netlogon Event ID 5719:
No Windows NT Domain Controller is available for domain <domain_name>.
The following error occurred:
This event is expected and can be ignored when booting with the No Network Hardware Profile.

After the server logs this event at startup, you can log on to the domain normally. The event occurs when you start the computer. This event may repeat frequently if the Windows OS needs to setup communications with other domain controllers. Windows 2000 Server and later domain controllers are highly impacted and may log thousands of 5719s in the system event log.

Additionally, the Windows “Service Control Manager” may report the following condition after repeated NETLOGON 5719 events, if the “System Center Management service” is installed:
Log Name: System
Source: Service Control Manager
Date: <Date> <time>
Event ID: 7036
Task Category: None
Level: Information
Keywords: Classic
User: N/A
Computer: <servername>
Description: The System Center Management service entered the stopped state.
