Microsoft Windows Server DNS Configuration No Zone File

Microsoft.Windows.Server.DNS.Configuration.NoZoneFile (Rule)

Alert generating rule for Configuration.

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

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.

Causes

The DNS server has detected that for a primary zone it has no zone file name stored in registry data.

Resolutions

Correct zone data

A registry value that contains information for a zone is corrupt or incorrect and must be corrected. You can use Server Manager to delete the zone and then recreate it.

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

To use Server Manager to recreate a zone:

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.Expand the DNS server, and then expand the folder that contains the zone.

4.Right-click the zone, and then click Delete.

Note: If you cannot delete the zone using this method, you must use Registry Editor to delete the registry key for the zone.

5.Right-click the folder, and then click New Zone.

6.Follow the instructions in the wizard to recreate the zone.

To delete the zone key in the registry:

Caution: Incorrectly editing the registry might severely damage your system. Before making changes to the registry, you should back up any valued data.

1.On the DNS server, click Start.

2.In Start Search, type regedit, and then press ENTER.

3.In the console tree, expand the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\DNS Server\Zones

4.Right-click the key for the zone, and then click Delete.
