Microsoft Windows Server DNS ADI Zone Conflict

Microsoft.Windows.DNSServer.2016.ADI.ZoneConflict (Rule)

Alert generating rule for a zone.

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

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.

Causes

The DNS server has encountered a critical error from the Active Directory.

Resolutions

If an administrator has moved this zone from one directory partition to another, this may be a harmless, transient condition. In this case, no action is necessary. The deletion of the original copy of the zone should soon replicate to this server.

Additional

If there are two copies of this zone in two different directory partitions but this is not a transient condition, delete one of the copies as soon as possible to resolve the conflict. For more information, see "Event ID 4515 is logged in the DNS Server log in Windows Server 2003" ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/867464/en-us ).
