Knowledge Base article:

DNS Server Configuration

The DNS server configuration consists of the settings that determine how the DNS server will function on a network and how those settings are stored and retrieved when they are needed.

 

Invalid data was added to a configuration file (Cause)Correct the configuration file (Resolution)

To correct the configuration file, use a text editor (such as Notepad) to open the indicated file, which is located in %SystemRoot%\System32\Dns. Correct the line that is specified in the warning or error event message, and then restart the DNS server.

Before you change the configuration file, make a copy of the file in case it is necessary to revert to the previous version of the file.

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

To restart the DNS server:

  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. Right-click the DNS server, click All Tasks, and then click Restart.

Note: This problem might have been caused by errors that were introduced to the configuration file during previous attempts to edit the configuration file manually. To avoid similar Problem in the future, use Server Manager or the dnscmd command to modify the configuration file.
