DNS event id 11160

[Thomas]

Hi, I'm getting this DNS error:
============================================================================
=======================================
Event ID: 11160


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

Adapter Name : {XXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXX-XXXXXXX}
Host Name : computername
Adapter-specific Domain Suffix : xyz.mycompany.com
DNS server list :
192.168.2.1
Sent update to server : 192.175.48.1
IP Address : 192.168.2.3

The reason that the system could not register these RRs was because of a
security related problem. The cause of this could be (a) your computer does
not have permissions to register and update the specific DNS domain name set
for this adapter, or (b) there might have been a problem negotiating valid
credentials with the DNS server during the processing of the update request.
============================================================================
==============================================

The thing is that it doesn't come up often but I don't know what's wrong
when it does. This error resides in our Exchange server 2003 and talks to
the DNS server which is also the DC. DNS is AD integrated.

TIA,

Tom

Is the IP address 192.175.48.1 the DC/DNS server's IP address? That appears
to be an Internet DNS Root server when I looked it up at www.arin.net. If
that is an external IP address, its telling me that your Exchange server's
IP property is configured to use that as its DNS server. Is that correct?
Can you confirm that please?

Just want to point out, with AD you can only use your internal servers or
numerous errors may occur.

In this case, it appears that its sending a reverse registration request to
192.175.48.1, which is an outside server, and apparently its a BIND server
configured with TSIG, hence the security related message.

If you want efficient outside resolution, configure a forwarder in DNS
properties to an outside DNS, such as 4.2.2.2,. (192.175.48.1 doesn't allow
recursion), so it resolves the names for the clients by forwarding requests
to that outside DNS and returns the answer to the internal clients.

Can you post an ipconfig /all of this machine please?
Thanks

Here's some info on it, but not much with this error:

Create a reverse lookup zone for Subnet 192.168.x.x and make sure you use
only the internal DNS IP on all NICs.
