I found this error in my Error Logs today. I contacted Rackspace Fanatical Support, and they told me that they don't support this sort of thing. Problem is: they set it up, and I have no clue about Server Configurations.
Event Type: Information
Event Source: DnsApi
Event Category: None
Event ID: 11156
Date: 18/12/2009
Time: 04:06:06
User: N/A
Computer: NEWDB
Description:
The system failed to register pointer (PTR) resource records (RRs) for network adapter
with settings:
Adapter Name : {7FB36A51-B9B5-4C8E-B8FE-224466B2F9CB}
Host Name : newDB
Adapter-specific Domain Suffix : wadja.local
DNS server list :
192.168.1.142, 83.138.151.80
Sent update to server : 255.255.255.255
IP Address : 192.168.1.139
The reason that the system could not register these RRs was because 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 displayed below.
Any ideas what this means, and how to fix?
Another error:
The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows attempted to read the file \\wadja.local\sysvol\wadja.local\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\gpt.ini from a domain controller and was not successful. Group Policy settings may not be applied until this event is resolved. This issue may be transient and could be caused by one or more of the following:
a) Name Resolution/Network Connectivity to the current domain controller.
b) File Replication Service Latency (a file created on another domain controller has not replicated to the current domain controller).
c) The Distributed File System (DFS) client has been disabled.
