Event id 4515 1

[Theo2k]

Hello All,

My event viewer is full of these messages (event id 4515 and I'm sure why. I don't see another copy of the zone elsewhere. Am I missing something?

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks

Theo

Description
The zone nypc.com was previously loaded from the directory partition MicrosoftDNS but another copy of the zone has been found in directory partition DomainDnsZones.NYPC.com. The DNS Server will ignore this new copy of the zone. Please resolve this conflict as soon as possible.

If an administrator has moved this zone from one directory partition to another this may be a harmless transient condition. In this case, no action is necessary. The deletion of the original copy of the zone should soon replicate to this server.

If there are two copies of this zone in two different directory partitions but this is not a transient caused by a zone move operation then one of these copies should be deleted as soon as possible to resolve this conflict.

To change the replication scope of an application directory partition containing DNS zones and for more details on storing DNS zones in the application directory partitions, please see Help and Support.

1. Start the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) DNS snap-in (Start, Programs, Administrative Tools, DNS).
2. Stop DNS services on all but one DNS server. (Right-click the DNS server name and select Stop from the All Tasks context menu).
3. On the remaining DNS server, turn off AD integration for the zones that are experiencing the problem. To do so, right-click the zone and select Properties. Click Change under "Type of DNS" and clear the "Store the zone in Active Directory" check box.
4. Restart the DNS service on the server. (Right-click the DNS server name and select Restart from the All Tasks context menu.)
5. Reenable AD integration on the zone and force replication to other DCs.
6. Start the DNS service on the other DNS servers by right-clicking the DNS server name and selecting Start from the All Tasks context menu.

Thank you for your quick reply. I did the tasks above but I have only one DNS server. When I stopped the DNS service I was not able to see domainDNSzones and or continue the rest of the steps.

What else can this be done to accomplish that?

First, how long has this been going on?
Second, what changed? Added hardware, software?
Third, have you checked your event logs? Something is causing this. We'll need more information before a simple google search will fix it. Good luck.

This issue started 2 weeks ago. No software or hardware was added. I added a host record in DNS and then the issue started. Since then I removed the statement but still get the error. The event log has only event id 4515 and (event id 409)

Description
The DNS server list of restricted interfaces contains IP addresses that are not configured for use at the server computer. Use the DNS manager server properties, interfaces dialog, to verify and reset the IP addresses the DNS server should listen on. For more information, see "To restrict a DNS server to listen only on selected addresses" in the online Help.

Sounds like the server thinks you have more than one nic. I'm guessing you're real problem comes from the event id 409 and not 4515. Check out Event ID 409 and see if that helps. Good luck.
