We run W2003 which was implemented about a year ago. Recently we began to
notice duplicate entries in the forward lookup zone so we decided to enable
scavenging and it appeared to clean up many old records. But we also noticed
that after scavenging, user PC's are not registering in DNS, they are not
creating Host A records and DHCP is not creating pointer records (this is
set in the DHCP scope). This became a problem when users working from home
would VPN to the office and then RDP to their PC using the PC name and it
would not resolve. As a work around I manually created Host & ptr records
for their workstations. No error messages are created on the PC's or the
servers, the DNS entries are just not being created.
Here are 2 other errors that are in event viewer, the top one is on the
secondary server and the lower one is on the primary:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: DNS
Event Category: None
Event ID: 4004
Date: 12/22/2005
Time: 7:51:15 PM
User: N/A
Computer: xxxxxxxx
Description:
The DNS server was unable to complete directory service enumeration of zone
mdmc.com. This DNS server is configured to use information obtained from
Active Directory for this zone and is unable to load the zone without it.
Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly and repeat
enumeration of the zone. The extended error debug information (which may be
empty) is "". The event data contains the error.
