Internal error: An Active Directory Domain Services error has occurred.

Asked By Dallas Corey 50 points N/A Posted on - 05/10/2012

We are receiving this on an SBS 2008 server every day at 11:30pm.  Other than this, no other errors occurring and no overall problems.  Standard DCDiag test check out.  It was a brand new install/domain.  Can't really find any information on what is causing this error.  Has anyone seen this error before?

Here are the details:

Internal ID:

Any help to find a solution would be much appreciated!!

Maybe someone has accidentally entered a service check or something on the Scheduled Tasks of Windows to run every day at 11:30 pm. Just check it on the computer. In Windows XP, the Scheduled Tasks can be accessed by clicking Start, All Programs, Accessories, and then System Tools. Just try adapting it on your Windows server. Check if there is a program that is scheduled to run everyday at exactly 11:30 in the evening. If there is indeed a task that is scheduled to run on that time, just delete it from the task scheduler or maybe change its settings if the task is required by the system.

You should also try checking your system for possible virus infection. Update your antivirus then run a full system scan on the whole server.
