DNS disaster and how can stop it for future

Hi
Last week, I found lots of static records were deleted automatically from DNS server console which cuased lots of P1 in my environment.
I found some below envents before the time when issue occurred.
I want  to know why DNS randomely Host reocrds were deleted automatically. Even opned case with MS but could not get anything from MS that why this was happened.
finally we resotred the DNS zones from backup tool and after restoring everythying was working fine.
please see some below events:

Description:
Performance warning: replication was delayed while applying changes to the following object. If this message occurs frequently, it indicates that the replication is occurring slowly and that the server may have difficulty keeping up with changes.
Object DN: CN=1 All Workstations_resultset_0_0\0ADEL:b6a014b6-ef00-459b-ae1e-f948bb38af2f,CN=Deleted Objects,DC=prise,DC=med,DC=org

Elapsed Time (secs): 17
User Action
A common reason for seeing this delay is that this object is especially large, either in the size of its values, or in the number of values. You should first consider whether the application can be changed to reduce the amount of data stored on the object,
or the number of values.  If this is a large group or distribution list, you might consider raising the forest functional level to Windows Server 2003 or greater, since this will enable replication to work more efficiently. You should evaluate whether
the server platform provides sufficient performance in terms of memory and processing power. Finally, you may want to consider tuning the Active Directory Domain Services database by moving the database and logs to separate disk partitions.
If you wish to change the warning limit, the registry key is included below. A value of zero will disable the check.

 Following are some of the reasons you would see this warning.
 [1] FRS can not correctly resolve the DNS name SHINFRPEMDC110.prise.med.org from this computer.
 [2] FRS is not running on  MDC110.prise.med.org.
 [3] The topology information in the Active Directory Domain Services for this replica has not yet replicated to all the Domain Controllers.
 This event log message will appear once per connection, After the problem is fixed you will see another event log message indicating that the connection has been established.

Did you ever run dnscmd /ageallrecords, if yes, it will enable aging & scavenging on the static records too by setting the timestamps value on it. I would also suggest to review the below two article.

  • Is it possible for your iphone to be hacked so that someone can text message people in your contacts (and send pictures)? If so can you trace the hack and how can you stop it?

    Is it possible for your iphone to be hacked?so that someone can text message people in your contacts (and send pictures)? If so can you trace the hack and how can you stop it?

    As has been said, the iPhone itself can't be hacked this way, as far as anyone currently knows.
    Your Apple ID is another story. Any kind of online accounts can be hacked, and Apple IDs are no exception. If someone hacks your Apple ID, they could see all the data in the associated iCloud account, such as contacts, and could send those contacts texts that would appear to come from you. If that were to happen, you should see an alert on your other devices that your Apple ID is being used with Messages on a new device.
    If you have not seen that alert, it's unlikely that this problem is occurring due to such a hack. In that case, it would be more likely that either someone has gotten their hands on your phone, or some other Apple device registered to your Apple ID, and has used it to send that message. Or that the person claiming you sent a picture is lying for some reason.
    If you believe your Apple ID may have been hacked, you should change your password immediately (at appleid.apple.com). You should also seriously consider enabling two-factor authentication on your Apple ID.

  • Youtube won't let me type in comment box below video, and keeps affecting the video when I hit keys. why and how can I stop it from doing that?

    It seems whenever I use YouTube with Firefox, the YouTube video will only ever let me interact with it unless I go full screen then hit escape. if i don't, I can't type in the text box below the video. even stranger, if I go to a new tab and try to enter something into, say, Google, I can still pause and un-pause the you tube video, even in the other tab, just by trying to type in a text box. Why is this happened, and how can I make it stop? it is starting to get very disruptive.

    Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox 14 are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
    In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
    [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
    [[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
    [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]

  • Better privecy does not work with windows vista home prem. what other program removes LSO'S AND HOW can I stop trackers?

    Question
    better privacy does not work with windows vista home prem. what other program removes LSO'S AND HOW can I stop trackers? edit
    Details

    As a temporary workaround, I believe this Adobe management page allows you to clear your "Flash cookies": [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Website Storage Settings panel] (hosted on macromedia.com -- Macromedia was the original developer of Flash).
    Regarding the script error, if I'm reading the script correctly, it is related to accessing your Flash cookies directory. It seems the publisher's support forum is not currently available for searching, but that might be a good next step.
    In the meantime, could you check whether the script has the correct location for your Flash cookies directory? If you can't access Tool > BetterPrivacy, you could check here:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''bpr''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) There should be a bolded setting named '''extensions.bprivacy.DataDir''' which looks approximately like the following:
    C:\Users\''yourWindowsUsername''\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia
    Do you have a similar value? If you paste the path used by BetterPrivacy into a Windows Explorer window, does it open? Also, click a couple levels in the folder, can you see:
    Flash Player \ #SharedObjects
    If the value is wrong, right-click the wrong value and choose Reset. BetterPrivacy should update the value the next time you try to access it.
    If the value is blank, you could try inserting a sensible value and see whether that helps.
    Any luck?

  • How does Adobe create a desktop icon when I open a web pdf document, and how can I get it to stop?

    I am finding a host of pdf file icons cluttering up the desktop when I exit the Web after researching a topic. I have saved some files with the 'save as' feature, but there is nothing else I have done.
    I have looked through the usual properties, options looking for clues for this automatic program, to choose a different one... and have yet to find anything indicating this program or process.
    How is this happening and how can I stop it?
    Thank you!

    Thanks for your interest in helping- This system has Firefox (whatever is recent) , Windows 7 Professional, Adobe Reader XI.
    While on the Web, I have opened, perused, then saved docs to file using 'save as' option in the browser; and on closing the browser, I see numbers of pdf shortcuts on the desktop.
    Also, this kind of thing has occurred inconsistently, so there has been nothing "usual" in my actions to which I can attribute these icons.
    Sorry - I delete them and clean out the recycle bin, or I'd be able to tell you whether these were shortcuts or the actual files. I'm trying to resurrect the image in my mind, and I believe they may have been the docs, not simply shortcuts...
    Thank you for your time!

  • Hi when I import files to my I Tunes they always go into playlistds, how can I stop this and how can I transfer them to my library?

    how can I stop my imported music from going into playlists? and how can I transfer playlists to my library?

    Imported files will go into any smart playlists that they qualify for. If new playlists are being created as you import folders then the folders contain m3u playolist files made by another application and iTunes is importing those too. You can search for and delete these before import, use http://albumbrowser.klarita.net/itfw.html instead of iTunes' Files > Add folder or use my script KillTopLevelPlaylists after the import.

  • I have not accessed my iBooks for a month. When I opened the application a while ago I found that all my books except for 2books have disappeared. What happened and how can I retrieve my books?

    I have not accessed my iBook library for a month. When I opened the application awhile ago I found that all my books except for 2 books have disappeared. What happened and how can I retrieve my books.
    Charles

    One possible reason is have you synced to your computer's iTunes recently ? If so then it might have replaced the books that were on your iPad with those that are on your computer's iTunes library.
    You should be able to re-download them via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app, or via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes and then sync them back to the iPad : re-downloading. If you re-download them directly on your iPad then you may want to copy them to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, so that you have a backup copy of them and to see if it stops them disappearing from the iPad again when you sync (assuming that was the reason why they disappeard).

  • Norton Firewall logging connections from usr/sbin/nmbd every 6 seconds...  What is this, and how can I stop it?

    This whole situation first started with a complaint from my ISP that it appeared I had a trojan virus...  around 1100-1200 messages per hour were being run through their servers via my account.  I have also Anti-Virus enabled, so I was left scratching my head...
    No viruses found on a full scan - so I started watching processes and connections.  This nmbd process is suspicious...  I don't run windows file sharing, nor have I ever.  This just popped up recently.  I also had two mac tech support calls, and one to Symantec - and it ran fine for a couple of days - but it's back again. 
    What is this, and how can I find the culprit, and remove it permanently...?
    Thanks in advance for any advice!
    --Jeff

    Thanks Thomas, appreciate the insight!  Thanks for taking the time to help me think through this...
    I have reset the password  twice now...
    It's only impacting one account, and the ISP says it's local to me - somewhere on my local network.
    I do have a few devices on my home network.  The only one with windows is my macbook air running parallels.  I just use this to browse some web projects I work on (view in IE to make sure everything is looking like it should). 
    The passwords I have used both times - they were ones set by my isp - the type you can't remember, they seem rather strong (upper/lower case letters, numbers, symbols).  That's what leads me to believe it's also local - something on my machine.  And it only seems to be impacting one email account (I have 5 running in Mac Mail).
    WiFi network is protected by WPA2 - just checked to be sure.  All good there.
    Now, in Norton Firewall log - I can see incoming and outgoing connections via Windows File Sharing/nmbd. 
    The reason I feel/felt that this is related to the spam sends is that once I saw the number of connects, and roughly equals the number of sends per hour of spam - I stopped the process with the firewall and suddenly my isp says the spam sends stop. That led me to believe they are related. Perhaps this virus or malware has spoofed it's name and is identifying itself as nmbd?  I have no idea.  Just scared to turn it all off just yet.
    I did notice that Moutain Lion does not run this...  (nmbd).
    I did wonder about the Air sending something off of windows - but this all happened while it was off, laying on the desk next to me.  It rarely gets used unless I'm testing or traveling.
    I can understand nmbd being useful part of the system, I cannot understand how it would be very useful if I didn't turn it on, it connects at that frequency, and I don't have file sharing enabled.  That's why I am hesitant to turn Norton off, and hope that everything just goes away.  I want to try and get this problem figured out as simply turning Norton off doesn't seem like I'm taking steps to eliminate the problem.  Perhaps Norton is causing other issues - and I'll be removing the software asap - but want to make sure the spam sends cease.
    Let me know if that sparks any ideas...  Thanks again!

    when I set my screen saver to iLibrary it defaults to national geographic,why and how can I stop it

    Back up all data. Quit System Preferences if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A folder named "ByHost" should open. Look inside it for a file with a long name that begins "com.apple.screensaver". There may be several such files. Move them all to the Trash.
    Log out or restart the computer. Test. If the problem is resolved, empty the Trash and recreate your settings in the Screen Saver tab.
