Event ID: 4015 Source: DNS-Server-Service on Windows Server 2008 and Server 2012

If you recently installed a Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller; all seems to be running well but have notice you keep getting a repeating DNS Error like this:

Event ID: 4015 

Source: DNS-Server-Service

Details: 

"The DNS server has encountered a critical error from Active Directory. Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly. The extended error debug information (which may be empty) is "". The event data contain the error."

All do you need to do is:
  • Setting a Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller as a Global Catalog.
  • Transferring FSMO Roles in Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2012.
For fix that, click in the below link and do the step 4 and 5.

Now you Active Directory is functioning properly, and the DNS error is fixed  :)

  1. Very useful you should mention that the problem is also caused by partially migrated DC roles.
