Cluster network name resource failed to update the DNS A record

Microsoft.Windows.10.0.Cluster.Cluster.network.name.resource.failed.to.update.DNS.A.record (Rule)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

In a cluster, a Network Name resource can be important because other resources depend on it. A Network Name resource can come online only if it is configured correctly, and is supported correctly by available networks and network configurations.

Event Details

Event ID:

1579

Source:

Microsoft-Windows-FailoverClustering

Symbolic Name:

RES_NETNAME_DNS_RECORD_UPDATE_FAILED

Message: Cluster network name resource '%1' failed to update the DNS record for name '%2' over adapter '%4'. The error code was '%3'. Ensure that a DNS server is accessible from this cluster node and contact your DNS server administrator to verify the cluster identity can update the DNS record '%2'.Search System Error Codes ( http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=83027).

Causes

This was due the DNS server is Not accessible from this cluster node or the cluster identity cannot update the DNS record.

Resolutions

Check error code and confirm DNS is accessible

For the IP Address resource that the Network Name resource is dependent on, confirm that the NetBIOS settings (if used) or Domain Name System (DNS) settings match the name resolution services on this network. Also, check that a DNS server or (if used) a WINS server are correctly configured and are online.

If you do not currently have Event Viewer open, see "Opening Event Viewer and viewing events related to failover clustering." If the event contains an error code that you have not yet looked up, see "Finding more information about error codes that some event messages contain."

To perform the following procedures, you must be a member of the local Administrators group on each clustered server, and the account you use must be a domain account, or you must have been delegated the equivalent authority.

To perform a quick check on the status of a resource, you can run the following command.

Using a command to check the status of a resource in a failover cluster

To use a command to check the status of a resource in a failover cluster:

CLUSTER RESOURCE ResourceName /STATUS

If you run the preceding command without specifying a resource name, status is displayed for all resources in the cluster.
