Event Message:
DNS server failed to initialize reverse WINS lookup, through netBIOS adapter status lookup. This may be due to a incorrectly configured NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) configuration. Try restarting DNS server. If reverse WINS lookup is not required, remove WINS-R records from zone datafiles and restart DNS server.

User Action:
To check the NetBIOS over TCP/IP configuration: 1. Open Control Panel, and double-click Network. 2. Click the Protocols tab, and click TCP/IP Protocol in the Network Protocols list. 3. Click Properties, and click the WINS Address tab. 4. Verify that the IP addresses for both the primary and secondary WINS servers are correct, and that the Enable DNS for Windows Resolution check box is selected. 5. Click the Bindings tab, and verify that the WINS (TCP/IP) protocol is bound to the network adapter. If you continue to receive this message, verify that the WINS reverse lookup record has been configured correctly by using DNS Manager or by opening the appropriate XXX.XXX.in-addr.arpa database file located in the Systemroot/System32/Dns directory. You can edit this database file using Notepad but you must stop the DNS server service first.
