Microsoft Windows Server DNS ADI Sync Incomplete

Microsoft.Windows.Server.DNS.ADI.SyncIncomplete (UnitMonitor)

Indicates multiple 4013 events in a period of time.

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 is waiting for Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) to signal that the initial synchronization of the directory has been completed. The DNS server service cannot start until the initial synchronization is complete because critical DNS data might not yet be replicated onto this domain controller. If events in the AD DS event log indicate that there is a problem with DNS name resolution, consider adding the IP address of another DNS server for this domain to the DNS server list in the Internet Protocol properties of this computer. This event will be logged every two minutes until AD DS has signaled that the initial synchronization has successfully completed.

Resolutions

Troubleshoot AD DS and restart 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. This error indicates that AD DS is not responding to requests from the DNS Server service. Ensure that AD DS is functioning properly, troubleshoot any problems, and then restart the DNS Server service.

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

To restart the DNS Server service:

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.

If the problem continues, restart the computer and then use Server Manager to confirm that the DNS Server service has started.

To restart the computer:

Click Start, click the arrow next to the Lock button, and then click Restart.

To confirm that the DNS Server service has started:

1.On the DNS server, start Server Manager.

2.In the console tree, expand Roles, and then click DNS Server.

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