Fixing DNS corruption within Active Directory will be beyond the scope of m=
y suggested solution, but give this a try:
From the DNS Snap-in:
Expand your forward zones
Get the properties for the faulty zone
On the General tab, ensure the Type is Primary
(If it is Active Directory Integrated, click change and uncheck the box a=
t the bottom)
From the Service Snap-in:
Locate DNS Server Service
Right click and select Stop
From Windows Explorer:
Navigate to %SystemRoot%\System32\dns
Delete the .dns file for the faulty zone
From the Service Snap-in:
Locate DNS Server Service
Right click and select Start
From the DNS Snap-in:
Expand your forward zones
Right click the faulty zone and select Delete
(It 'should' allow you to delete it now)

Subject: Corrupted DNS Entry
Hi Everyone,
I need help from some of the more techie people out there.
I did not have a content filter installed this past year, so I messed aroun=
d with creating new DNS entries on my Windows 2003 server to basically have=
users go to nowhere when they tried to go to specific websites.
One of the entries (for facebook) is now corrupt. I just want to go in and=
delete it, but nothing I do in DNS will allow me to access the entry in an=
y way, including to delete it. I get a red X and a message that says Zone =
Not Loaded by DNS Server. I cannot access the properties. When I try to d=
elete it, I get the message "The zone cannot be delete. Access was denied.=
) (I am logged in directly to the server where I created the dns record.)
Does anyone know how to delete this out of the registry using regedit? Or i=
s there some other way to force the DNS server to delete this corrupted DNS=
entry?
Thanks,
Renee Ramig
