event id 4013
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. Hi everybody, i am trying to figure out how to fix this warning. Before i post on the forum i tried to fix it on my own. But no success. Before on my Preferred DNS: i had this loopback 127.0.0.1 and now i changed it to actual ip. 192.168.1.4 (example), but is still keep showing me this warning after i restart the server. I am a newbie, :( Any help will be apreciated willockss

Thank you, willockss To get rid of the 4013 warning, you need to install a second DNS :-). Sorry, I don't have any example to show case in that regard. However, if you would like to know how to setup a second DNS server, here are couple of links Adding a Secondary DNS Server http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc776953(v=ws.10).aspx How to create a secondary DNS server http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winservergen/thread/a0335c80-f0ee-4b42-9f5d-a8e4aa32e3d1/Press any key...

I had read from those links that you gave me, that one with integrating the AD to DNS in windows server 2008 r2 is default made integrated (there it shows only for windows server 2000) as about that secondary DNS, i am afraid i will not try because it seems something dangerous. So until i will not have an clear example so i can understand, i will not install :(willockss
