Microsoft Windows Server DNS ADI Retryable Zone Operation Failed

Microsoft.Windows.Server.DNS.ADI.RetryableZoneOperationFailed (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 encountered an error building or loading a zone from Active Directory.

Resolutions

Check the AD DS load

The DNS Server service encountered a delay while loading a zone from Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). No further action is required if the DNS server started successfully or the zone loaded successfully. Otherwise, diagnose and correct AD DS problems that are causing an excessively high volume of operations.
