Event ID 4521 — DNS Server Active Directory Integration
Applies To: Windows Server 2008
You can configure the DNS Server service to use Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) to store zone data. This makes it possible for the DNS server to rely on directory replication, which enhances security, reliability, and ease of administration.

Resolve
Check the AD DS load
The DNS Server service encountered a delay while loading a zone from Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). No further action is required if the DNS server started successfully or the zone loaded successfully. Otherwise, diagnose and correct AD DS problems that are causing an excessively high volume of operations.
For information about troubleshooting AD DS, see Active Directory Troubleshooting Topics (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=95789).
Verify
Ensure that Event IDs 4523 and 4524 are being logged and that no events in the range 4000 to 4019 appear in the Domain Name System (DNS) event log.
