Event ID - 4015

Event Id4015
SourceDNS
DescriptionThe DNS server has encountered a critical error from the Active Directory. Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly. The event data contains the error.
Event InformationAccording to Microsoft:

Cause 1:


The DNS Server service uses Active Directory to store DNS data, and it encountered a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) error while querying the directory. This error could be caused by either a time-out or a temporary interruption of service.

Resolution:

If this message appears repeatedly, restart the DNS Server service.

CAUSE 2:

This problem occurs because Active Directory has a limitation of approximately 800 values that can be associated with a single object. In an Active Directory-integrated DNS zone, DNS names are represented by dnsNode objects, and DNS records are stored as values in the multi-valued dnsRecord attribute on dnsNode objects, causing the error messages listed earlier in this article to occur.

RESOLUTION:

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows 2000.
