Active Directory Domain Services could not use DNS to resolve the IP address of the
source domain controller listed below. To maintain the consistency of
Security groups, group policy, users and computers and their passwords,
Active Directory Domain Services successfully replicated using the NetBIOS or fully qualified
computer name of the source domain controller.



Invalid DNS configuration may be affecting other essential operations on member
computers, domain controllers or application servers in this Active Directory Domain Services
forest, including logon authentication or access to network resources.



You should immediately resolve this DNS configuration error so that this
domain controller can resolve the IP address of the source domain controller using
DNS.



Alternate server name:

 %1

Failing DNS host name:

 %2



NOTE: By default, only up to 10 DNS failures are shown for any given 12 hour
period, even if more than 10 failures occur.  To log all individual failure
events, set the following diagnostics registry value to 1:



Registry Path:

HKLM\%5\%6



User Action:



 1) If the source domain controller is no longer functioning or its operating
system has been reinstalled with a different computer name or NTDSDSA object
GUID, remove the source domain controller's metadata with ntdsutil.exe, using
the steps outlined in MSKB article 216498.



 2) Confirm that the source domain controller is running Active Directory Domain Services and
is accessible on the network by typing "net view \\" or
"ping ".



 3) Verify that the source domain controller is using a valid DNS server for
DNS services, and that the source domain controller's host record and CNAME
record are correctly registered, using the DNS Enhanced version
of DCDIAG.EXE available on http://www.microsoft.com/dns



  dcdiag /test:dns



 4) Verify that this destination domain controller is using a valid DNS
server for DNS services, by running the DNS Enhanced version of DCDIAG.EXE
command on the console of the destination domain controller, as follows:



  dcdiag /test:dns
