netdiag says "The DNS entries for this server are not registered..

Hello,

I recently added two domain controllers to the domain, in preparation for
retiring two that are running on older hardware. There are currently five DCs
in this child domain. Four of them pass all tests on "dcdiag" and "netdiag".
The 5th one fails netdiag, with an error that says "The DNS entries for this
server are not registered correctly on server "x.x.x.x"

"Netdiag" lists three DCs in these errors. The fourth DC is not mentioned at
all, either failing or passing.

Things seem to be working fine other than these errors. Replication works
with all partners, SYSVOL is consistent, and DNS changes made on the server
that fails netdiag are replicated to the other DCs (at least they are when
you hit reload).

A bit of history on the situation: Yesterday all of the DCs were failing
DCDIAG except for the one that is currently failing netdiag. I found an
article on Technet that said to temprarily set all DCs to the DNS server that
has the most info. I did that ind it worked and they all passed dcdiag after
that. But I still have this netiag issue. The DC that is failing "netdiag"
is the PDC emmulator and RID master.

I would greatly appreciate any help to troubleshoot and correct this issue.

If you can post an ipconfig /all from each DC, we can evaluate if there are
any basic configuration that can be causing it, and come up with a diagnosis
for you.

Thanks,
