How to Diagnose Event ID 4320 or 4319

MORE INFORMATION

Use the NBTSTAT -N command to see the name of the computer in the conflict state. The IP address of the node that sent the message is in the data returned by this command. The following example shows what the data may look like in one of these events:

   0000:   00   00   04   00   01   00   54   00
   0008:   00   00   00   00   e0   10   00   c0
   0010:   00   00   00   00   00   00   00   00
   0018:   00   00   00   00   00   00   00   00
   0020:   00   00   00   00   00   00   00   00
   0028:   e7   1a   65   16
				

Offset 28 is the IP address of the computer requesting name release. To determine the decimal IP address, invert the four hexadecimal numbers and convert them to decimal numbers separated by periods. Using this method, the IP address of E7 1A 65 16 becomes 22.101.26.231.

The status column of the NBTSTAT output for the computer in conflict should contain either "Conflict" or "Released."

You can run the NBTSTAT -A command with the IP address to get the computer name.

NOTE: This error message is generated in many cases due to normal circumstances, and should not be cause for alarm.
