I recently encountered the following EventID warning:
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: DnsApi
Event Category: None
Event ID: 11167
Date: <removed>
Time: <removed>
User: N/A
Computer: <removed>
Description:
The system failed to register host (A) resource records (RRs) for network adapter
with settings:
Adapter Name : {4FD62166-14A0-49F4-9714-213D474F8FA9}
Host Name : <removed>
Primary Domain Suffix : <removed>
DNS server list : <removed>
Sent update to server : <removed>
IP Address(es) : <removed>
The reason the system could not register these RRs during the update request was because of a system problem. 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. For specific error code, see the record data displayed below.
I found a lot of posting regarding Microsoft Firewall, but the solution is very simpel:
Check your DNS Server > there was a CNAME entry (could be any other) in my DNS domain preventing the client to update its own record.
Just remove the entry and execute ipconfig /registerdns. Within a minute the client should appear correctly in DNS and the warning should not reappear.
