Causes include not having the local DNS server IP in TCP/IP properties,
Single-label domain name, or a disjointed namespace where the Domain
Controller's Primary DNS suffix does not match the AD domain name.

If you need further help post back with all of the following; ipconfig /all

in DNS.

That said, in the dcdiag you posted it appears to be a single-label domain
name. Single-label domain names cause registration errors on all members and
DCs with Domain Controller location errors on all members using Win2kSP4 &
later, WinXP and Win2k3. Follow this KB to add registry entries on members
and DCs with the aforementioned operating systems.

I created a new forward zone called " _msdcs.domainname " and cycled the
netlogon service which resolved the issue and populated all missing entries
