Description:    
Dynamic registration or deletion of one or more DNS records associated with DNS
domain 'research.corp.' failed.  These records are used by other computers to locate this
server as a domain controller (if the specified domain is an Active Directory
domain) or as an LDAP server (if the specified domain is an application partition).

Possible causes of failure include:

- TCP/IP properties of the network connections of this computer contain wrong IP address(es) of the preferred and alternate DNS servers
- Specified preferred and alternate DNS servers are not running
- DNS server(s) primary for the records to be registered is not running
- Preferred or alternate DNS servers are configured with wrong root hints
- Parent DNS zone contains incorrect delegation to the child zone authoritative for the DNS records that failed registration

USER ACTION

Fix possible misconfiguration(s) specified above and initiate registration or deletion of
the DNS records by running 'nltest.exe /dsregdns' from the command prompt or by restarting
Net Logon service. Nltest.exe is available in the Microsoft Windows Server Resource Kit CD.
