Event ID 6702 occurs when you use a single-label domain name on a Windows Server 2003-based computer (914050)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Web Edition
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition for Itanium-based Systems
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Enterprise x64 Edition
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard x64 Edition
SYMPTOMS On a Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based computer that has
Active Directory installed, the following Error event may be logged in the DNS Server log: Event Type: Error Event Source:
DNS Event Category: None Event ID: 6702 Description: DNS
server has updated its own host (A) records. In order to ensure that its
DS-integrated peer DNS servers are able to replicate with this server, an
attempt was made to update them with the new records through dynamic update. An
error was encountered during this update, the record data is the error code.
If this DNS server does not have any DS-integrated peers, then this
error should be ignored. If this DNS server's Active Directory replication
partners do not have the correct IP address(es) for this server, they will be
unable to replicate with it.
To ensure proper replication: 1)
Find this server's Active Directory replication partners that run the DNS
server. 2) Open DnsManager and connect in turn to each of the replication
partners. 3) On each server, check the host (A record) registration for
THIS server. 4) Delete any A records that do NOT correspond to IP
addresses of this server. 5) If there are no A records for this server,
add at least one A record corresponding to an address on this server, that the
replication partner can contact. (In other words, if there multiple IP
addresses for this DNS server, add at least one that is on the same network as
the Active Directory DNS server you are updating.) 6) Note, that is not
necessary to update EVERY replication partner. It is only necessary that the
records are fixed up on enough replication partners so that every server that
replicates with this server will receive (through replication) the new data.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://support.microsoft.com. Data: 0000: 0000267c This issue
only occurs when the
following conditions are true:
- The domain
name is a
single-label
name. This
means that the domain name does
not have
a suffix, such as "local."
- The
domain
name zone is integrated
with Active Directory.
- The
domain
name zone is hosted by two or more domain controllers or DNS servers.
CAUSEThis issue occurs because
queries for
<domain-name>.<domain-name> that are
sent from the DNS server to a single-label domain
name fail.
These queries fail because the zone does not exist.
Note<domain-name>.<domain-name>
is a placeholder for the
name of the domain.WORKAROUNDNote You may safely
ignore the
event
ID 6702 Error
event. To
work
around this issue, add
the <domain-name>.<domain-name> zone to
the DNS server.
