Does the DNS server have multiple NICs where one of the NICs is either
unplugged or set to DHCP and can't get an IP address?

You "aced" it   Now, he needs to read up on the docs for preventing
auto-registration on unused NICs, or simply disable or remove the errant
NIC.

Cool. Maybe it's just easier to disable it, if he can.

Since this 169.. IP address is associating with our domain name, I assumed
its coimg from one of the NICs on the DNS server/domain controller. But I
already disabled those unused NICs. Could it be something else?

Make sure the NIC is actually disabled, and not just disabled because there
isn't a cable connected.

When I go to device manager, it says disabled. Can I enter the same IP
address on the other NIC but don't connect it to see if that works?

Don't do that, you'll just have to make registry entries so that IP address
is registered for the LDAP IP address record.
Run ipconfig /all to see which interface has the IP address in question,
then verify that NIC is disabled. NICs that are disabled won't register. (Or
shouldn't anyway)

Make sure the DNS server is listening only on the IP address that has file
sharing enabled on it.
