How to avoid this DNS server error |
|
|
Hi all..
I have Windows Server 2003, Standard edition
This is recorded constantly in DNS event log:
"DNS server has updated its own host (A) records. In order to ensure 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.
If this DNS server does not have any DS-integrated peers, then this error
should be ignored.
If this DNS server's Active Directory replication partners do not have the
correct IP address(es) for this server, they will be unable to replicate
with it.
To ensure proper replication:
1) Find this server's Active Directory replication partners that run the DNS
server.
2) Open DnsManager 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. (In other words, if there multiple IP addresses for this DNS
server, add at least one that is on the same network as the Active Directory
DNS server you are updating.)
6) Note, that is not necessary to update EVERY replication partner. It is
only necessary that the records are fixed up on enough replication partners
so that every server that replicates with this server will receive (through
replication) the new data."
How can I disable dynamic updates? My network is very simple. One Server
acting as DNS server, and a few PC's connected to it through a hub. The
server connect to the ISP through an ADSL modem.
Other DNS server (over Internet) has configured A records so that clients
can connect to this server using the name, for example, www.xyz.com. That
DNS manages xyz.com zone. My DNS server manages CORP.XYZ.COM zone (the local
domain is named CORP). All works well but that event log error I want to
avoid.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks

I've seen this error if the machine is a mutlihomed system. If it is,
probably easier to just get an inexpensive Linksys router to handle NAT,
otherwise, there are multiple steps to clean it up.
If not a mutlihomed DNS server, make sure you are only pointing to itself
for the DNS entry in IP properties, and configure a forwarder to your ISP's
DNS in DNS properties. That will eliminate the error.
