DNS event id 4521 after upgrading to Windows server 2003 std. SP2

Hi,

I have windows server 2003 std. server which I upgraded to SP2 2 days ago.
DNS was fine before that but now I am getting this event ID 4521 every 3
minutes. Following is the details:

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: DNS
Event Category: None
Event ID: 4521
Date: 3/15/2008
Time: 11:51:03 AM
User: N/A
Computer: MAINSERVER
Description:
The description for Event ID ( 4521 ) in Source ( DNS ) cannot be found.
The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message
DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use
the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for
details. The following information is part of the event: 9002, ..

I am not good in server troubleshooting. Can anybody help me?

Any feedback will be appreciated...

Thanks in advance..

Hi Meinolf,

Thanks for your reply. I checked the link you sent me but the weird thing is
that I am not able to apply the command "dnscmd" from command prompt. It's
saying me it's not valid internal or external command. Am I doing something
wrong or is anything missing?

Any thoughts? Any ideas will be appreciated..

Thanks,
Hemal

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply. I am able to use the dnscmd tool form support
tools but now when I try to use the command "dnscmd 'servername' /config
'Zonename' /bootmethod".

It give me the following error message:

" DNS Server failed to reset registry properly.
Status = 9553 (0x00002551)
Command failed: DNS_ERROR_INVALID_PROPERTY 9553 <00002551>"

I tried to run "dnscmd 'servername' /zoneinfo 'Zonename' "
The output of this command is as below:

"Zone Info:

ptr = 00082FD8
Zone name = kbgca.lcoal
zone type = 1
update = 1
DS integrated = 1
data file = <null>
using wins= 0
using nbstat = 0
aging = 0
refresh interval = 168
no refresh = 168
scavenge available = 0
Zone masters
Null IP Arrays
Zone secondaries
Null IP arrays
secure secs = 3
directory partition = AD-legacy flags 00000012
Zone DN= DC=kbgca.local, cn=MicorsoftDNS, cn=system, DC=kbgca,DC=local
Command completed successfully."

Please try to find what am I doing wrong or what should I do.

Thank you very much in advance for you time and help.

Hello Hemal,

Check out this one, even it applies to server 2000:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/818717

The commands are case sensitiv.

Hi Meinolf,

Wow !!! You are absolutely right.. It's case sensitive syntax. All the
events disappeared from my server after dnscmd /Config /BootMethod command.

Thanks a lot for you all time and help. I really appreciate it by heart !!!
If I have any other questions in future, I will surely ask you in this forum..

Thanks again.

Hemal
