Also, looking at the event viewer in Word view will shed some light, and
what it simply does is look at the data, which is in Hexadecimal, and give
you the decimal/character view. However when you get something like "Data:
0000: 0000007a", there is NO character equivalent other than looking up what
Hex 7a is equal to, which in this case wouldn't help in determining the
error.
In most cases we do not look at that part of the Event log message anyway,
rather look at the specific Event ID# and Source name. Meinolf provided a
link that directly explains the error. Main cause of this is a multihomed
machine, especially if it is a Browse Master, such as on a domain
controller. Multihomed domain controllers can cause numerous other issues as
well.
You can also lookup errors such as this at eventid.net. Here is what I
found, which the article Meinolf posted explains anyway, however sometimes
you can get a better perspective from contributors at eventid.net:
EventID 8032, Source = Browser:
http://eventid.net/display.asp?eventid=8032&eventno=118&source=BROWSER&phase=1
So coming back to the original question, is this machine multihomed?
Also, is it a domain controller?
