Knowledge Base article:

DNS Server Active Directory Integration

You can configure the DNS Server service to use Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) to store zone data. This makes it possible for the DNS server to rely on directory replication, which enhances security, reliability, and ease of administration.

The DNS server encountered an unexpected problem with AD DS (Cause)Troubleshoot AD DS and retry adding the zone (Resolution)

AD DS is not responding to requests from the DNS Server service. The DNS Server service relies on Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) to store and retrieve information for AD DS-integrated zones. Ensure that AD DS is functioning properly, troubleshoot any Problem, and then try to create the zone again.

For information about troubleshooting AD DS, see Active Directory Troubleshooting Topics ( http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=95789).

To perform this procedure, you must have membership in Administrators, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.

Create the zone after resolving any Problem with AD DS.

To create a zone:

  1. On the DNS server, start Server Manager. To start Server Manager, click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Server Manager.
  2. In the console tree, expand Roles, expand DNS Server, and then expand DNS.
  3. Expand the DNS server, right-click the zone folder for the type of zone that you want to add, and then click New Zone to open the New Zone Wizard.
  4. Follow the instructions in the wizard to create the zone.
