DNSapi errors justmark 6/19/2007 2:50:00 PM I have DNSapi warnings in my system logs (11151 & 11159). When I did ipconfig /registerdns, within ten or fifteen minutes, the warnings would appear. I went and configured a DHCP option 252 according to a KB article I read. Well, that seems to have worked - a little... Now when I do ipconfig /registerdns, I no longer get the DNSapi warnings. But I still get them randomly a couple of times a day all by themselves without triggering them. I wonder how big a deal these warnings really are? Does anybody know? I just don't understand why /registerdns works okay, but I still get a couple each day anyway? And on my servers too (which have static IP addressing so they don't get the option 252 info). Thoughts? Advice? Many thanks, Mark

This may be due to a zone transfer that has locked the DNS server for the applicable zone that your computer needs to register itself with. (The applicable zone should typically correspond to the Adapter-specific Domain Suffix that was indicated above.) You can manually retry registration of the network adapter and its settings by typing "ipconfig /registerdns" at the command prompt. If problems still persist, contact your network systems administrator to verify network conditions. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

The cause of this could be (a) your computer is not allowed to update the adapter-specified DNS domain name, or (b) because the DNS server authoritative for the specified name does not support the DNS dynamic update protocol. To register the DNS pointer (PTR) resource records using the specific DNS domain name and IP addresses for this adapter, contact your DNS server or network systems administrator.
