Resource has registered DNS entries that are not providers

Microsoft.Windows.2008.R2.Cluster.Resource.has.registered.DNS.entries.that.are.not.providers (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:

1589

Source:

Microsoft-Windows-FailoverClustering

Symbolic Name:

RES_NETNAME_DNS_RETURNING_IP_THAT_IS_NOT_PROVIDER

Message: Cluster network name resource '%1' found one or more IP addresses associated with DNS name '%2' that are not dependent IP address resources. The additional addresses found were '%3'. This may affect client connectivity until the network name and its associated DNS records are consistent. Please contact your DNS server administrator to verify the records associated with name '%2'.

Resolutions

Check dependencies for Network Name resource

If you do not currently have Event Viewer open, see "Opening Event Viewer and viewing events related to failover clustering." After viewing event messages, confirm that the Network Name resource is dependent on the intended IP Address resources, including all IP addresses associated with the name in the DNS records. For more information, see "Viewing properties of an IP Address resource or Network Name resource in a cluster."

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.

Verifying that a Network Name resource can come online

To verify that a Network Name resource can come online:

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.
