| Description | The DNS server failed to initialize WINSR reverse lookup, through NetBIOS adapter status lookup. The server will continue to run but will not attempt to perform WINS reverse lookups. This may be due to an incorrect configuration. If WINSR lookup is not required, remove WINSR records from zone data files and reload modified zones or restart the DNS server. If the DNS server should support WINSR reverse lookup, restart the server computer and verify that the WINS/NetBT configuration for TCP/IP client properties on the computer are correctly set. |
