Log DNS record Creation / deletion events on DC's security event viwer

hi,
I have configured the DNS record creation and deletion auditing as per below microsoft blog
http://blogs.technet.com/b/networking/archive/2011/08/17/tracking-dns-record-deletion.aspx on one of my DC.
All setting are done correctly and events for DNS creation and deletion is generated in security event logs. BUT THESE EVENTS ARE ONLY GENERATED ON ONE DC. We have 3 other DC, i checked the security events on other 2 DC but there is no event logs. Only one
DC has that events.
Is there any way so that whenever DNS record is created / deleted the events SHOULD CREATED ON ALL DCs. This will save time else i have to check on all DCs security events.
Please suggest

Greetings!
It is by design. When you want to create a record in on of the DNS servers, you open the DNS console and connect to a server. Record creation/deletion is a single server process, and after that it is replicated to all the DNS servers using Zone Transfers
or AD Integrated Zones. Since this is a single server process the audit is generated in the server's event viewer itself.
So he best thing you can do is to collect all the events regarding "DNS Auditing" from your DNS servers and store them in a server. More information on:

Server DNS record automatically deleted

We built a new file server 10 days ago. When we set it up it would have gotten a dhcp address which then we converted it into having a static ip address.
8 days later the DNS Record for the server automatically got deleted. This was not setup as a static record in DNS as it would have had a time stamp on it. The server was online the whole time and was not rebooted. What would cause the DHCP record of the
file server to automatically get deleted when this has never happened when setting up new servers or productions servers as none of our staff deleted the record.

Hi,
The reord is first registered by DHCP server, so the owner would be the DHCP server. And only DHCP server could change the record. Once the lease in DHCP is expired, the record will be deleted.
Just reigster the record manually, if it is deleted again, then it should be a problem. But I don't think it will happen.

Please some one help me out, as i need to install on the same machine .....

Now what was the problem, I am able to connect and work through sqlplus,
But I didnt got the link of EM and when try to create a new connection in sql developer it is giving error ( Status : failure - Test Failed the Network Adapter could not establish the connection )
Thanks & Regards
Creation of the dbcontrol requires a connection via the listener. When configuring the dbcontrol as part of database creation, it appears that the dbcontrol creation step runs before the dynamic registration of the databsase with the listener is complete. Now that the database itself is completed and enough time (really, just a minute or two) has passed to allow the instance to register, use dbca or emca to create the dbcontrol.
Are you able to get a sqlplus connection via the listener (sqlplus scott/tiger@orcl)? That needs to be the first order of business.

Static DNS record deleted automatically- Windows 2008 R2 SP1

Hi,
I have scoured the Interweb and tried all suggestions to no avail for this one. Here's the scenario:
My client has a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 (Windows 2003 domain/forest functional level) server which is a DC and DNS server. The problem is that a DNS record for an Exchange 2010 server is getting deleted every 10 or 40 minutes. This started occurring for no obvious
reason a few weeks ago. The impact is that users cannot connect to Exchange (caching does not seem to help with this, which is odd). I disabled scavenging, which did not resolve the issue. I enabled auditing and found a 4662 event revealing that the domain
administrator account was deleting the server A record (and pointer record). Why this is happening is what I am trying to investigate next: possible bug? The zone is configured as non secure- maybe making it securing it would help? But this does not explain
why the record is being deleted. There is no NIC teaming implemented, which I understand can cause issues.
As an interim measure I created a script employing dnscmd that recreates the record every 15 minutes, which works for the most part, but not always, which is why I added a deny permission on the record for the domain Administrators group, seems so far to
have prevented the record from being deleted.
Any advise on the cause of this and how to investigate why the record is being deleted will be much appreciated!

Hi- thanks for that. However I have seen those links and already followed them: I turned off scavenging (default 7 day configuration) and the record still gets deleted (scavenging date is not due till a later data in any case). Also the record is static
so it would not get scavenged? The option to delete the record if stale is unchecked.
I already enabled auditing and identified event 4662, which identified that the domain administrator account that is deleting the record:

Another DNS record deletion question

I am fairly new to the environment, as i switched my consulting job to an internal job.
The environment was a flat file dns, with one primary DNS server and multiple secondary servers. I move away from the flat file DNS (single master model), to an active directory integrated DNS with multiple DNS zones. So I moved the multiple DNS domains
away from the master zone to their own dedicated DNS zones on the domain controllers within their domain.
The Colleagues already warned me that DNS records tend to mysteriously disappear from time to time, but could not find any proof. I checked the usual suspects (scavenging), but that was disabled. 3 weeks back, I splitted the single DNS zone, in multiple
DNS zones, where the splitted DNS is pointing to their own dedicated domain controllers. I used following procedure to do it:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askpfeplat/archive/2013/12/02/how-to-split-and-migrate-child-domain-dns-records-to-a-dedicated-dns-zone.aspx
Since the migration we had several encounters of DNS records which were deleted, some were explainable (wrong ILO settings), but some were not. As i could not explain the deletions, i enabled auditing on DNS to see who or what is responsible for deleting
those objects. This morning i was notified that again a records went missing, so I went to inspect the audit logs. To my surprise I saw that my admin account was logged with the record was deleted. Now I did not delete any records, have no scripts running
that modify DNS in anyway, and i seriously doubt that my admin account has been compromised. Is there anyone who could explain why records (A records of members servers) are being deleted, although scavenging is disabled?
I have checked the DNS suffix, and verified that it is not set. In which the client uses the active directory domain to which it is a member.
Answers provided are coming from personal experience, and come with no warranty of success. I as everybody else do make mistakes.

Hi,
Because the Active Directory integrated DNS replication between all the DNS server, one of the DNS server delete the record others will delete the record too, so Mahdi’s suggestion
is better to know what happen when the DNS records deleted.

Where do deleted Static DNS records go?

Since we enabled the Active Directory recycle bin some time ago, we noticed that there is also a recycle bin for the ForestDNSRecords and DomainDNSRecords container. It appears that dynamic DNS entries are being treated like any other object and getting
moved to CN=Deleted Objects,DC=<Domain|Forest>DNSZones,DC=<YourDomain>,DC=<Suffix>. When Static entries are deleted we do not see them in the Deleted Objects container. Is that a bug, by design, or are we missing something?

Static records should show up along with dynamically created records. I don't believe they would go anywhere else, since they are just DNS nodes in the same context. Maybe there's some other mitigating issue that may be causing it?
Have you seen the following links? If not, let us know what links you were reading, please.

Curious, when you deleted the dynamic and static records, did you do that on the same DC in the same AD Site?
Are there any replication errors or issues?
Let's also eliminate any possibilities of the existence of duplicate AD integrated zones. If there are, one DC's *view* or what it *sees* in a partition will be different than another DC's view.

Static DNS records disappearing

Hi all,
Three of our static DNS entries keep disappearing and we have to keep adding them back in. Sometimes they stay in for 1-2 weeks, sometimes only a few hours. We have many static entries but it is always these same three that give us issues. We
are running four Windows 2008 (non-R2) Domain Controllers. Two of these machines are Server Core and the other two are full versions.
I have followed Ace's blog (thanks btw!) about looking for a duplicate zone but I don't think this is the case. So I have turned on DNS auditing. When the record gets deleted it logs EventID 5136 sixteen times:
<REMOVED LOG FOR READABILITY>
From these logs it appears that DC-SERVER3$ is what is deleting these items. Is that a correct assumption? DC-SERVER3 is one of the four domain controllers and is one of two running server core.
I am unsure where to go from here. Any help would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks!

I tried posting the event logs in a <code> block above but it was very unreadable. Is there a better way to do this? I will paste them here for the time being:

2012R2 hyper-v failover cluster Cluster name object has no DNS record created

I’m trying to setup a 2-node ws2012R2 cluster using ws2008R2 AD(with DNS) but got an issue with DNS entry creation on AD. I also tried ws2012 AD but it's the same problem.
The individual node DNS entries were created on AD automatically upon joining AD but I can’t get AD to create DNS entry for my cluster name object automatically. AD will have cluster name computer
created but no record for cluster name in DNS entries
Got the following event ID 1196 error with the info below.
Cluster network name resource 'Cluster Name' failed registration of one or more associated DNS name(s) for the following reason:
DNS server failure.

New Windows Server 2012 unable connect to Netlogon Service or update DNS records

Hi everybody, all of my Windows Servers 2012 decided to collapse after innocuous group policy update that was meant to make user passwords more secure.
The AD and DNS seem to be functioning "normally", I am able to add new Windows7 and Windows Server 2008 machines to the domain, I can see them in listed in the AD and DNS record are update correctly, however, as soon as I try to join Windows Server
2012 it breaks.
The event log is littered on the new server with:
The system failed to register host (A or AAAA) resource records (RRs) for network adapter
with settings:
           Adapter Name : {DB7F73CE-E011-4F3C-BEBC-2CE7A871DF51}
           Host Name : CHEETAH
           Primary Domain Suffix : somedomain.com
           DNS server list :
192.168.0.5
           Sent update to server : <?>
           IP Address(es) :
192.168.0.15
The reason the system could not register these RRs was because the update request it sent to the DNS server timed out. The most likely cause of this is that the DNS server authoritative for the name it was attempting to register or update is not running
at this time.
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.
and
Name resolution for the name _ldap._tcp.Default-First-Site-Name._sites.dc._msdcs.somedomain.com. timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.
When I try to ping the primary DC (WS2003) it fails, the Secondary DC (WS2012) responds.
The >nltest /sc_query:somedomain.com on Windows Servers 2012 returns:
Flags: 0
Trusted DC Name
Trusted DC Connection Status Status = 1311 0x51f ERROR_NO_LOGON_SERVERS
The command completed successfully
yet it works on all other machines.
I tried removing 2012 servers from the domain and rejoining - without success. The cookie crumbled when I added two new installations of Windows Server 2012 & 2008 and 2008 worked fine but 2012 showed same symptoms.
There is one peculiar thing that I had noticed on all Windows 2012 machines, it constantly showing "Workplace Connection - Connecting" in the networks pane on the right side of the screen, which I can't say i ever noticed before.
Unfortunately, the secondary DC is a multihoming server with Direct Access role - I am not sure if this may play some part but our existing configuration worked for a year now without any problems. Issue appeared when I changed the password complexity rule,
which boggles the mind. I wonder if there has been some other changes in GPO that did not propagate from years ago and finally comeback to break things.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Hello Ace, i wish you a Happy New Year! I hope your break was enjoyable and filled with cheer.
In the end I had to bite the bullet and reinstall all troublesome servers. Your recommendations from above removed some serious problems with the DA and DNS resolution.
I was able to attach new server to the domain without any problems and begin painful process of rebuild.
I have promoted TIGER to full DC controller role, but having some issues with replication. Although running >repadmid /showrepl gives positive
feedback, the sysvol folder on the secondary DC is empty.
Also there is a couple of warnings in the event log:
Event ID 4012
Log Name: DNS Server
Source: DNS-Server-Service
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.
- which has not repeated since 3rd of Jan.
These events occur on the primary DC every few minutes:
Event ID 1030
Source: Userenv
Log Name: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Windows cannot query for the list of Group Policy objects. Check the event log for possible messages previously logged by the policy engine that describes the reason for this.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
Event ID 1058
Source: Userenv
Log Name: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Windows cannot access the file gpt.ini for GPO CN={31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=somedomain,DC=com. The file must be present at the location <\\somedomain.com\sysvol\somedomain.com\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\gpt.ini>.
(The network name cannot be found. ). Group Policy processing aborted.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
Should sysvol folder be shared on the secondary DC? Another interesting thing to point out is that
\\somedomain.com\sysvol\somedomain.com\Policies\ can be access
from all other machines except the DC1.
Cheers!
kind regards,
wmin

[LOG] The data portion of event 18265 from MSSQL$SQLSERVER is invalid

Hi All,
I have an instance (SQL SERVER 2008 R2) with 30 databases, all are in full recovery mode.
While doing the TLOG backup I found following error in the MSSQL AGENT ERROR LOG.
[LOG] The data portion of event 18265 from MSSQL$SQLSERVER is invalid
While finding the reason I found that only two small databases are causing this error recording in MSSQL AGENT ERROR LOG. I executed a manul Tlog backup for the identifed databases using TSQL and it shows successful backup (please see below output) but
agent error log was dumped with the new entries showing the same error (even agent was not used to execute the job).
Processed 0 pages for database 'XYZ-ae94-41c157aa36a1', file 'XYZ-ae94-41c157aa36a1_log' on file 1.
BACKUP LOG successfully processed 0 pages in 0.227 seconds (0.000 MB/sec).
Processed 10 pages for database 'ABC-ccb8c6d4ef00', file 'ABC-ccb8c6d4ef00_log' on file 1.
BACKUP LOG successfully processed 10 pages in 0.102 seconds (0.727 MB/sec).
Please assist with your experience for such scanario.
Best Regards
khalil

[LOG] The data portion of event 18265 from MSSQL$SQLSERVER is invalid
18265 = Log was backed up. Database: %s, creation date(time): %s(%s), first LSN: %s, last LSN: %s, number of dump devices: %d, device information: (%s). This is an informational message only. No user action is required.
Those lengths are a bit excessive, but certainly within the permitted realms. Are there any other database names that are these long? Are there any special characters in the names?
Erland's guess is correct. Mostly its due to

I can't delete events recurring annually...not part of birthday calendar, these are events I've added manually. I've tried delete key, cut event, changing to no recurrence, they just revert to original recurrence and will not be removed from my calendar. Events that occur weekly I'm able to delete, this is only happening with events recurring annually. Very frustrating. Thanks for any ideas.

If you are using a PC, log on to iCloud using Safari (rather than Explorer) to reset the photostream. Then turn iPhone/iPad photostream off and back on. I was getting the same server error as you and this advice from another blog worked for my iPhone and iPad. But I still can't get photostream deleted from my apple tv. There does not seem to be a photostream on/off control In Apple tv 4.4 software. I tried switching the screen saver to one of the ones that comes preloaded on the device, then back to photostream but all the old photos are still there. If anyone can help with this, I would appreciate it.

Error while deleting events from the integration event queue

I am trying to delete all the events from the integration event queue after reading it, like this (this is in Java):
        IntegrationEventWS_DeleteEvents_Input input = new IntegrationEventWS_DeleteEvents_Input();
        input.setDateTime("");
        input.setLastEventId("");
        try {
             ((Default_Binding_IntegrationEventWS)onDemandStub).deleteEvents(input);
        } catch (Exception e) {
             log.error("Deleting events from integration queue failed: ", e);
        }Alas, I get the following error message:
Invalid method parameter(s): 'File Id'(SBL-ODS-50007)What does this mean? What is this mysterious "File Id" it supposedly gets? I don't see it anywhere in the SOAP message I'm sending and it isn't mentioned anywhere in the docs.
Thanks in advance for any input.

Dont keep this attributes null
input.setDateTime(""); //Put a Default Time way in
the past. Ex:"1/1/2000"
input.setLastEventId(""); //pass the eventIdThe documentation states that those two are optional (although they are not nillable, for some reason). I tried to set the date to today, but I got the same result. Since setting a date is supposed to delete all events older than that date, I don't think setting it in the past will delete anything.

What are the right DNS records to host more than one site on OSX Server (ML). My conf in Server.app looks right but one of my sites lands on the default server. Any suggestion?

I started using OSX Server on Mountain Lion a few days ago and it looks promising.
I do however measure my ignorance in DNS matters...
I defined two websites in addition to the the Default Server, so I have three names to deal with.
For argument's sake
- www.main.com is the default site
- www.sitea.com is the first site
- www.siteb.com is the second site
I define a virtual host for www.sitea.com and another for www.siteb.com
The resulting apache conf is what I would expect, I am pretty sure it is correct.
So I modified my DNS entries (they were A records) to point to my new OSX Server.
My result is:
- www.main.com shows the default site
- www.sitea.com shows the first site
- www.siteb.com shows...the default site
Any ideas?
Cheers

Thanks MrHoffman!
My problem ended up being a name but not in the DNS!...In Apache.
Your information allowed me to rule out possibilities and zoom in to the culprit faster.
I just report here the conclusion hoping it can help someone else.
When I installed OSX Server last week, I had in mind to principally run siteb.
During the initial install, this is what I must have entered and then forgot about it.
Then I defined my virtual hosts sitea and siteb and realised my machine was called siteb and changed its name to main to avaid a name collision. At which time I remember OSX Server telling me that changing the name could have consequences...But it apparently went ok, and it did except for one little thing.
The consequence was this:
in the main configuration file /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/http_server_app.conf the ServerName directive had remained siteb (instead of main). I manually updated it with TextEdit (could do vi from bash, its the same) and replaced siteb with main.
There is a way to detect it.
In Server.app, there is a "logs" panel, which displays all sorts of logs for everything including the websites.
Each website's logs are presented as "access" and "error" logs. The information was there, but I could not see it because the viewing window in remarkably small for so much information in raw text...
web logs are actually written to only two files in /var/log/apache2 (error.log and access.log)
I openned two bash windows and run tail -f on error.log in one and tail -f access.log in the other.
When I started the web service, apache threw a warning stating from mod_ssl saying that the certificate did not match the serve name...I the certificate was what I expected, I checked http_server_app.conf and found the ServerName directive that was not changed when I renamed my server...
Easily fixed when its found, but it can take a while to find.
BTW, I was using A DNS records for and it works, but I find your method of using CNAME records documents the administrator's intent better than with A records; I started to do the same. (A records a useful though, they can run a domain across multiple machines)
Cheers mate!

DNS record is not dynamically created in DNS Zone, when joining to DNS domain

hi
in my test lab i have deployed two virtual machines (both are windows server 2008 R2 enterprise).
on vm1 i have installed just DNS role (without Active directory) and created a primary non-ADintegrated zone.
on this DNS zone, i have enabled dynamic update set to
non-secure & secure .
now in my vm2 (as a DNS client) , i set the ip address of this DNS server as preferred DNS server and then in system properties, on the primary DNS suffix field, i entered the name of my DNS domain (mydomain.lab)& rebooted VM2, but the a record of this
client (vm2) is not registered (created ) in mydomain.lab zone.
i respect the record be created like the situations which we join a client to AD domain

Hi John ,
When registering DNS record ,client will send a SOA query to find the primary server of the zone .Then send register message to the server .
We can use nslookup to find the problem :
Open Command Prompt
type nslookup
type set type=soa
type zone name
1. If there is positive response ,check the name of
primary name server and the IP address of the server .
Its name should be vm1.mydomain.lab .If not ,edit the SOA record in the zone .
If no IP address ,edit NS record in the zone .
2. If there is no response ,check the SOA record in the zone .
We can manually delete and recreate the records to ensure there are right SOA and NS records .
Here is the guide for using nslookup :

Hi,
You can refer the following article to auditing the DNS entry deleted reason:
