unable to identify the records scavenged, how can I view those DNS records?

if you check your event logs there should be an event 2501 Although i dont know if it gives exact references Aging and scavenging messages 2501 Messageid=2501 Severity=Informational SymbolicName=DNS_EVENT_AGING_SCAVENGING_END DNS service has completed a scavenging cycle: Visited Nodes = %1, Scavenged Nodes = %2, Scavenged Records = %3. This cycle took %4 seconds. Next cycle is scheduled in %5 hours. The record data may contain error code

Like Adam mentioned, refer to logs in event viewer.
