I have found some previous posts about this but no solutions, has anyone got
to the bottom of this?

DCDIAG /test:dns returns
Performing initial setup:
   [SYSTEM01] Directory Binding Error -2146892976:
   Win32 Error -2146892976
   This may limit some of the tests that can be performed.
   Done gathering initial info.

Doing initial required tests

   Testing server: Default-First-Site-Name\SYSTEM01
      Starting test: Connectivity
         [SYSTEM01] DsBindWithSpnEx() failed with error -2146892976,
         Win32 Error -2146892976.
         ......................... SYSTEM01 failed test Connectivity

I also have event ID 40960 with desc.

The failure code from authentication protocol Kerberos was "The handle
specified is invalid
(0x80090301)".

this is a single forest with a single domain and 2 DC's. Both DC's are
experiencing the same problems.

regards
Craig
