DNS Event 4521 after SP2 on SBS 2003 Std

Hi,

I installed SP2 via WSUS on 2 machines running SBS 2003 Std.
Now I have a DNS warning event every 3 minutes.

Event ID is 4521:

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; ..

Has anybody else seen this?

Regards
Martin

I have not personally seen this, but:

* Have you verified all Automatic startup services are started? Quite a
few people are seeing some services not restarting upon the first reboot
after applying the SP. A second reboot usually fixes this.

* I have seen one report from a person who needed to rerun the CEICW
after applying SP2.

Thanks for the reply Owen,

Yes, all services are running. I already rebooted twice.

Tried this too, but no luck.

The two (different) systems runs without any other problems, only the DNS
event fills up. This event 4521 seems to be a new one, eventid.net doesn't
know anything and the event message isn't really helpfull.

Sorry the suggestions I provided did not help.

Susan Bradley has summarized what the SBS MVPs have found so far with
regard to SP2 here:

sp2-release-notes.aspx

If none of this applies to you - and given that the event you are seeing
seems to be new - you may need to open a case with Microsoft Customer
Support Services. Since the problem started after applying a Service
Pack, the usual US$245 fee may be waived.

Hi I have the same problem on WY3K enterprise edition, it seems SP2 problem,
I think we have to wait for solution from Microsoft.
Just wait a few weeks and it will be aiviable in the knowledge base.
SP2 to fresh...

I have the same problem after installing the SP2 on a Windows Server
2003
Standard Edition (with Active Directory).

A couple of weeks passed since your post but I can't see any MS KBA
that explains the problem.

seems like there are multiple problems with the win2003 server service
packs.

- should have done the rain dance first.

I've found a good advice on another thread
(http://groups.google.com/group/micro...ws.server.dns/
browse_frm/thread/5821769b8f2c540).
After executing
dnscmd /config /BootMethod
on my MS Windows Server 2003 Standard with SP2
the DNS warnings stopped.
