    DNSApi Event Log Error ID: 11160

    Hi all,
    I have 3 W2k3 DC's configured as DNS for redundancy. Yesterday 2 or
    3 of my member servers starting logging this error message, and it
    continues to log this “11160” error message when I run “ipconfig
    /registerdns” (note: all clients are Static IP), so I run “netdiag
    /debug” on all DC’s and all servers with DNS issue, all test passed.
    HELP!!

    Contents of the error message in event viewer:

    The system failed to register pointer (PTR) resource records (RRs) for
    network adapter
    with settings:

    Adapter Name : {*}
    Host Name : member server name
    Adapter-specific Domain Suffix : FQDN
    DNS server list :all IP’s in DNS server search order
    Sent update to server : Primary DNS Server IP
    IP Address : local machine IP

    The reason that the system could not register these RRs was because
    of a security related problem. The cause of this could be (a) your
    computer does not have permissions to register and update the
    specific DNS domain name set for this adapter, or (b) there might
    have been a problem negotiating valid credentials with the DNS server
    during the processing of the update request.

    You can manually retry DNS registration of the network adapter and
    its settings by typing "ipconfig /registerdns" at the command prompt.
    If problems still persist, contact your DNS server or network systems
    administrator.

    Thanks,

    Are all members using only the local DNS that supports the AD domain(only)?
    Do you have a reverse lookup zone for the IP address subnet range?
    On the Zone properties, security tab, does the Domain computers group have
    Create / Delete child objects?

    Post your ipconfig /all (unedited)

    YES

    YES

    I will not post any server names or ip addresses


    All DNS entries in the DNS tabs of all pc's in our network use our
    private DNS servers only, the DNS server forwards unknown request to
    the ISP dns server.

    Unless you are using public IP addresses in your ipconfig the information
    can only be used to check your configuration. If you are using public IP
    addresses as for example the DNS address, then your configuration is likely
    to be incorrect.
    The only thing I can recommend without your ipconfig /all is for you to call
    MS Support services.

    Kevin,
    There is no incorrect infor in my ip configuration, it is setup
    exactly the same as all other machines/servers which are working
    correctly. I just have 3 servers not working and one dc with some
    issues. Which i am working on right now.

    The fix to this issue was to remove some manually entered ptr records
    that i had overlooked, Since the PTR records were manually created
    the server did not have any permissions to update the record, after i
    gave it permissions to update it correct the entry and fixed the error
    i was getting in the event log.

    Thanks for your help.

    JJ
