Posting here, hope that's ok.
Constanting getting event 1054 errors in the event viewer with SBS2003 SP1.. About every 5 minutes it seems.
From MS KB324174
SYMPTOMS
The following event may be logged in the Application event log:
Event ID: 1054
Source: Userenv
Type: Error
Description:
Windows cannot obtain the domain controller name for your computer network. (The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted). Group Policy processing aborted.
The client computer may also experience an extremely slow logon.
CAUSE
This behavior may occur if the address for the configured preferred DNS server on the client is invalid or unreachable.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, correct the DNS address in the Internet Protocol (IP) properties:
1. Open Network Connections in Control Panel.
2. Right-click Local Area Connection, and then click Properties.
3. Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.
4. Type the correct DNS address in the Preferred DNS server box.
5. Click OK.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
SBS installed and configured based in part on information from Tom Shinder’s Trek through Small Business Server 2003 Service Pack 1, parts 1 - 5. It's running DNS and DHCP for local clients.
I've done Google searches on the error. Gone through numerous sites. Rechecked DNS settings. Turned off media sensing (have 2 gigabit nics in the server). So far nothing has helped to stop the 1054 errors.
Server can access the Internet (Windows Update). Clients can access the Internet. Shares all work without any problems. Everything appears to be working except for those constant 1054 errors which I'd like to get rid of.

I just must be missing something somewhere. Computers and networks are nothing new to me. I've got a computer science degree and spent six years as a systesm admin about eight years ago. Used Novell servers back then so not much experience on MS servers.

The gateway on the Internal side should be blank.
The DNS on your external nic should point to 192.168.16.2
That should fix it. If not, please post results from ipconfig /all here

Well, I thought those changes would do it. After doing those changes I rebooted the server. No more 1054 errors. I came back and two hours after the reboot there they are again.
Here's the ipconfig /all (I removed the mac addresses)

Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : KJtest.local
Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid

WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : KJtest.local
Ethernet adapter Lan_Home:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :

Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : ...
DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.16.2
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :

How is your DNS server setup? If there are forwarders try removing them. Make sure that the root hints are populated. Maybe also try deleting the DNS cache.

Thanks for the hints.
Forwarders have always been blank.
Hints have 13 listed, a-m
Deleting the dns cache... Do you mean to flush the dns cache? I know of the ipconfig /flushdns that I've used on xp clients. Is there something specific for a dns cache on the server or is the same command used?

Turn off QOS on the internal nic (in network car properties)
Make sure the internal nic is listed before the external nic in the advanced network properties, binding order.
Then
Try rerunning the CEICW (connect to the internet wizard) from the admin console and do not check the "do not change network settings" and also do not check the "do not change firewall settings"

QOS was not being used on either nic.
Internal nic was already before the external nic.
Question about CEICW. If I do not check the "do not change the firewall settings" I have to select use the firewall or not use the firewall. Will selecting either of those conflict with ISA2004 that is running?
Fyi... I've noticed that the 1054 errors are fired off every five minutes on the nose.

Selecting the use Firewall will reset the proper ISA settings

Well, I'm just stumped. Re-ran CEICW as suggested. No luck. Still getting the non stop 1054 errors.

Well, I've tracked this down on my own and all my 1054 errors on the server are now gone.
I used Group Policy Object Editor (Gpedit.msc) to modify "Group Policy slow link detection" on the server at both "Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Group Policy" and "User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Group Policy". I enabled it and set the value to 0 (zero) which disables link detection.
