Problems with DNS-replication and DNS Event ID 4515 "Per-Torben Sørensen" <mspts[ at ]ventelo.net> 5/23/2007 8:57:47 AM Hello everyone. I got the event ID 4515 and I've been reading http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/867464 a few times now. The subdomain doesn't replicate the contoso.com zone but I'm a bit unsure how to see what zone to delete. Looking on one of the DC's in the subdomain, the CN=MicrosoftDNS,DC=ForestDNSZones, DC=contoso, DC=com has a zone with loads of records (no surprise there) but how do I see if this is the correct zone replicated from the parent domain (which I wanna keep) or the out-of-sync zone that needs to be deleted? I tried to look for the zone serial number but I couldn't find it in ADSIedit. In DC=DomainDNSZones,DC=contoso,DC=com I only see a record of CN=MicrosoftDNS (NOT a container) is this the one I should delete then? I can't see any content in there as it is not a container. I'm very confused here and I don't want to delete anything unless I'm 100% sure I'm deleting the right zone. The goal is to get zone transfers back on track between contoso.com and it's subdomain and having forest-wide replication. in the sub-domain it's on domain-wide repl and I'm not allowed to chage it because of this conflict. Please help me if you can. Regards Per-Torben Sørensen

Re: Problems with DNS-replication and DNS Event ID 4515 "Kevin D. Goodknecht Sr. [MVP]" <admin[ at ]nospam.WFTX.US> 6/5/2007 12:40:57 PM Read inline please.

Then on that DC, on the zone properties sheet, General tab, click on the Change button next to Type: Active Directory-Integrated, clear the check from the Store the zone in Active Directory, click OK, then OK again. In AD Site and Services, Expand to NTDS Settings, and right click on the Connections in the Right pane and Select Replicate now. Then using ADSI Edit, connect to DC=ForestDNSZones, DC=yourdomain, DC=com and connect to DC=DomainDNSZones, DC=yourdomain, DC=com Open the CN=MicrosoftDNS container in each of these and delete any objects with the zone name. In AD User and Computers in Advanced Features view, expand System and click on MicrosoftDNS, delete any objects with the zone name. Force a Replication again, and using the DNS management console to verify the zone is gone from All DCs except the one you converted to a Standard Primary. After you verify this right change the Standard Primary zone to be Stored in Active Directory, and force a replication cycle. After the zone has fully replicated according the replication scope you set you can once again start using any of these DCs in any order for DNS. I have found that if the need comes to move a zone from one Replication partition to another, if you first change it to a Standard Primary, force replication, then put it back in AD in the Partition you are moving it to, you can usually avert the zone conflict errors. -- Best regards, Kevin D.
