| Description | DNS Server has updated its own host (A) records. In order to insure that its DS-integrated peer DNS servers are able to replicate with this server, an attempt was made to update them with the new records through dynamic update. An error was encountered during this update, the record data is the error code. |
| Event Information | According to Microsoft: Cause: Active Directory clients use DNS to locate domain controllers for administration and logon. A domain controller usually points to itself for DNS. When there are additional domain controllers in the domain, they must point to the first domain controller (called the DNS server in this message) that was installed in the domain and then to themselves as secondary. This server could not register its dynamically updated locator records with DNS on any other domain controller in its directory service (DS) forest. Possible causes include: There are no other domain controllers. The other domain controllers in this forest do not have the correct IP address for this server. Resolution: If there are no other domain controllers in this forest, no user action is required. If there are other domain controllers that are Active Directory replication partners in this forest, enable replication by ensuring that at least one correct DNS record is registered on each domain controller. This information from some newsgroups may help you: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If this DNS server does not have any DS-integrated peers, then this error should be ignored. If this DNS servers Active Directory replication partners do not have the correct IP address for this server, they will be unable to replicate with it. To insure proper replication: 1) Find this servers Active Directory replication partners that run the DNS server. 2)Open DNS Manager and connect in turn to each of the replication partners. 3) On each server, check the host (A record) registration for THIS server. 4) Delete any A records that do NOT correspond to IP addresses of this server. 5) If there are no A records for this server, add at least one A record corresponding to an address on this server, that the replication partner can contact.
