I was just recently hired into a small business to do computer

mantianince once a week. On my client computers on a Windows Small

Business Server 2003 network I get the following errors DnsAPi 11163,

Userenv 1053. Autoenrollment 15. One thing I did notice is that each

computer on the network has a static IP address and none of the

computers have been entered into the DNS Server. All the client

computer are assigned to use the SBS server as there primary DNS

server. Now I'm not to sure if this was done intensionally because of

the database software Accuterm 97 running on an NT 4.0 member server.

Right now all the client computers can do there jobs the way it is

attended but in the future I would like the client computers to be able

to update there group polices.

Event Type: Warning

Event Source: DnsApi

Event Category: None

Event ID: 11163

User: N/A

Computer: JEN-4OFY3C857A1

Description:

The system failed to register host (A) resource records (RRs) for

network adapter

with settings:

Adapter Name : {9148B467-A05F-4332-A457-A3CCD4D86760}

Host Name : jen-4ofy3c857a1

Primary Domain Suffix : havanagroup.local

DNS server list :

192.168.xxx.xxx, 192.168.xxx.xxx

Sent update to server : 192.1.1.1

IP Address(es) :

192.168.xxx.xxx

The reason the system could not register these RRs was because the DNS

server failed the update request. The most likely cause of this is that

the authoritative DNS server required to process this update request

has a lock in place on the zone, probably because a zone transfer is in

progress.

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.

First off, if there's no need for static IP addressing, I'd get rid of it. If there's no need, use DHCP....by default, SBS sets up DHCP for you. So, unless somebody else changed it/disabled it, DHCP should work without you having to do anything on the server. Try that, and it might fix your DNS problem because every time a client requests an address, the DHCP server will register and update the particular record for the machine in the DNS.

Then, you might be left with some of the other errors...try rejoining the computers that are giving errors to the domain. If they don't want to rejoin, try renaming the PCs to a different name.

The clients are setup correctly and should be using your SBS server for DNS, the problem is probably that they are unable to register in your server's DNS for some reason.

Check that you DNS zone on the server is AD integrated and that dynamic updates are allowed.

Some of the more obscure applications can require static IP's but as embj said if you can use it DHCP makes life easier.

    • New Outlook for Windows gets a major boost with June 2025 Update by Pradeep Viswanathan Despite widespread criticism, Microsoft has remained focused on replacing the classic Outlook for Windows with the new web-based Outlook app for everyone. Every month, Microsoft releases updates to the new Outlook app based on user feedback. Today, Microsoft released the June 2025 update for Outlook for Windows with several improvements, including some of the most requested features by Outlook users. With this latest update, Microsoft has improved support for .pst (Outlook Data File) files. You can now reply to and forward emails in a stored .pst file. Microsoft is also working on further improving support for .pst files in the new Outlook for Windows. If you're using the new Outlook app with your personal Microsoft account that has access to Copilot Pro or AI credits through a Microsoft 365 Personal or Family subscription, Copilot features will now be available even for other personal email accounts configured in the Outlook app. This Copilot sharing feature works with email addresses such as Outlook.com, Hotmail.com, Live.com, MSN.com, and third-party providers like Gmail, Yahoo, and iCloud. Microsoft has also added the ability to easily move emails between personal accounts. This feature is disabled by default for enterprise users, but admins can enable it if needed. With this update, Microsoft has increased the default mail sync window in offline mode from 7 days to 30 days. Additionally, you can now access search folders and cancel an email after selecting Send in offline mode. This new update also brings email coaching support through Copilot. Copilot can now suggest adjustments to tone, clarity, and reader sentiment before you hit Send. If you are annoyed with Copilot, you can now disable Copilot completely by going to the Copilot > Copilot control page in the Settings window. In this release, Microsoft has added the ability to add shared folders to your Favorites, making it easier to access content directly from the Favorites list. Finally, an "External" tag will be added to external contact suggestions that appear in the dropdown menu when entering contacts in the email compose form, helping you distinguish between your organization's and external contacts.
