Microsoft Windows Server DNS ADI Background Load Failure

Microsoft.Windows.Server.DNS.ADI.BackgroundLoadFailure (Rule)

Alert generating rule for Active Directory Integration.

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 was unable to begin background loading of Active Directory-integrated zones. There may be a system resource problem. The DNS server service will now terminate. The event data contains the error.

Resolutions

Free memory or other system resources

Close any unnecessary applications or services, and then try the operation again.

If the operation fails again, restart the computer to free any memory or other system resources that have been allocated by programs without being released. Use Server Manager to ensure that the DNS Server service has started.

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

To restart the computer:

To ensure that the DNS Server service has started:

The System Services list shows the state of the DNS Server service.

If the problem persists, one or more applications running on the server might be causing memory problems.
