Hi Nick-FAOG Awana,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community Forums.

These reported errors are normal, and all of this behavior is expected behavior.

There are multiple solutions to these problems:

1. Ignore all these errors when running DCDIAG.
2. To stop the errors associated with the event log, enable the built-in incoming firewall rules on the DC so that the event log can be accessed remotely:

Remote Event Log Management (NP-in)

Remote Event Log Management (RPC)

Remote Event Log Management (RPC-EPMAP)

This can be done through the WF.MSC) (“Windows Firewall with Advanced Security” management unit, using the Firewall Group Policy (Computer Configuration \ Policy \ Windows Settings \ Security Settings \ Windows Firewall with Advanced Security), or by using the NETSH. ADVFIREWALL.
