DNS Client Registration

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

A computer that is configured to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to obtain IP addresses can automatically register its IP address and Domain Name System (DNS) name with the DNS server that is authoritative for the zone that hosts its domain. This eliminates the need for an administrator to manage host (A or AAAA) resource records for client computers. Problems with automatic registration do not prevent a computer from accessing the network, but they can prevent other network computers from being able to locate the computer.

11150

DnsApi

The system failed to register host (A) resource records for the network adapter with these settings:

Adapter Name: %1
Host Name: %2
Primary Domain Suffix: %3
DNS server list:
%4
Sent update to server: %5
IP Address(es):
%6%

The DNS update request timed out after being sent to the DNS Server. This is probably because the authoritative DNS server for the name being updated is not running.

You can retry DNS registration of the network adapter and its settings by typing "ipconfig /registerdns" at a command prompt. If the problems persist, contact your network administrator.

11151

DnsApi

The system failed to register host (A) resource records for the network adapter with these settings:

Adapter Name: %1
Host Name: %2
Primary Domain Suffix: %3
DNS server list:
%4
Sent update to server: %5
IP Address(es):
%6%

This DNS registration failure was caused by DNS server failure. This might be due to a zone transfer that has locked the DNS server for the zone that your computer needs to register itself with. (The applicable zone typically corresponds to the adapter-specific domain suffix that was indicated above.)

You can retry DNS registration of the network adapter and its settings by typing "ipconfig /registerdns" at a command prompt. If the problems persists, contact your network administrator.

11152

DnsApi

The system failed to register host (A) resource records for the network adapter with these settings:

Adapter Name: %1
Host Name: %2
Primary Domain Suffix: %3
DNS server list:
%4
Sent update to server: %5
IP Address(es):
%6%

Either the DNS server does not support the DNS dynamic update protocol or the primary zone that is authoritative for the registering names does not currently accept dynamic updates.

To add or register a DNS host (A) resource record using the specific DNS name for this adapter, contact your network administrator.

11153

DnsApi

The system failed to register host (A) resource records for the network adapter with these settings:

Adapter Name: %1
Host Name: %2
Primary Domain Suffix: %3
DNS server list:
%4
Sent update to server: %5
IP Address(es):
%6%

The DNS server refused the dynamic update request. This can happen because current DNS update policies do not allow this computer to update the DNS domain name that is configured for this adapter, or the authoritative DNS server for this DNS domain name does not support the DNS dynamic update protocol.

To add or register a DNS host (A) resource record using the specific DNS name for this adapter, contact your network administrator.

11154

DnsApi

The system failed to register host (A) resource records for the network adapter with these settings:

Adapter Name: %1
Host Name: %2
Primary Domain Suffix: %3
DNS server list:
%4
Sent update to server: %5
IP Address(es):
%6%

The system could not register the DNS update request because of a security-related problem. This could happen for the following reasons: (a) the DNS domain name that your computer is trying to register could not be updated because your computer does not have the right permissions, or (b) there might have been a problem negotiating valid credentials with the DNS server to update.

To add or register a DNS host (A) resource record using the specific DNS name for this adapter, contact your network administrator. For specific error code information, see the record data below.

11155

DnsApi

Because of an unexpected problem, the system failed to register host (A) resource records for the network adapter with these settings:

Adapter Name: %1
Host Name: %2
Primary Domain Suffix: %3
DNS server list:
%4
Sent update to server: %5
IP Address(es):
%6%

You can retry DNS registration of the network adapter and its settings by typing "ipconfig /registerdns" at a command prompt. If the problems persist, contact your network administrator. For specific error code information, see the record data below.

11156

DnsApi

The system failed to register pointer (PTR) resource records for the network adapter with these settings:

Adapter Name : %1
Host Name: %2
Adapter-specific Domain Suffix: %3
DNS server list:
%4
Sent update to server: %5
IP Address: %6

The update request that was sent to the specified DNS server timed out. This is probably because the authoritative DNS server for the name being registered is not running.

You can manually retry DNS registration of the network adapter and its settings by typing "ipconfig /registerdns" at the command prompt. If problems still persist, contact your DNS server or network systems administrator. For specific error code information, see the record data below.

11157

DnsApi

The system failed to register pointer (PTR) resource records for the network adapter with these settings:

Adapter Name : %1
Host Name: %2
Adapter-specific Domain Suffix: %3
DNS server list:
%4
Sent update to server: %5
IP Address: %6

The cause was DNS server failure. This may because the reverse lookup zone is busy or missing on the DNS server that your computer needs to update. In most cases, this is a minor problem because it does not affect normal (forward) name resolution.

If reverse (address-to-name) resolution is required for your computer, you can manually retry DNS registration of the network adapter and its settings by typing "ipconfig /registerdns" at the command prompt. If problems still persist, contact your DNS server or network systems administrator. For specific error code information, see the record data below.

11158

DnsApi

The system failed to register pointer (PTR) resource records for the network adapter with these settings:

Adapter Name : %1
Host Name: %2
Adapter-specific Domain Suffix: %3
DNS server list:
%4
Sent update to server: %5
IP Address: %6

Either the DNS server does not support the DNS dynamic update protocol, or the authoritative zone where these records are to be registered does not allow dynamic updates.

To add or register DNS PTR resource records using the specific DNS domain name and IP address for this adapter, contact your network administrator.

11159

DnsApi

The system failed to register pointer (PTR) resource records for the network adapter with these settings:

Adapter Name : %1
Host Name: %2
Adapter-specific Domain Suffix: %3
DNS server list:
%4
Sent update to server: %5
IP Address: %6

The DNS server refused the update request. Possible causes are that your computer is not allowed to update the adapter-specified DNS domain name, or the DNS server that is authoritative for the specified name does not support the DNS dynamic update protocol.

To add or register DNS pointer resource records using the specific DNS domain name and IP address for this adapter, contact your network administrator.
