Active Directory-integrated domain name is not displayed in DNS snap-in with Event ID 4000 and 4013 messages

You may experience the following symptoms:

• If you log on to an Active Directory-integrated domain controller, the logon process may be very slow.
• After you start the DNS snap-in, the domain name may not be displayed under Forward Lookup Zone.
• After you restart the server, only administrators may be able to gain access to the server.

In addition to these symptoms, the following event ID messages may be logged in the DNS event log: Furthermore, if you try to add an Active Directory-integrated zone to DNS, you may receive the following error message:

When you try to force Active Directory replication by using Active Directory Sites and Services, you receive the following error message:

This problem can occur if all of the following conditions are true:

• The Security log has reached the maximum log size that you specify.
• You set either of the following settings in the Security log:
  • Overwrite events older than xx days (where xx is the number of days that you specify)
    
    -or-
    
    
  • Do not overwrite events
  
  
• You set the Shut down system immediately if unable to log security audits Group Policy setting.
• You enable security auditing.

Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
To resolve this issue:

1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt.32.exe).
2. Locate and click the following registry key for the domain controller:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\CrashOnAuditFail
3. If the registry data type for CrashOnAuditFail is set to REG_NONE and the data value is set to 2, change the data type to REG_DWORD, and then set the data value to 0.
   
   This step provides a temporary solution until you disable the Group Policy setting.
4. Disable the following Group Policy setting on either the default domain or the domain controller organizational unit:
   Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\local Policies\Security Options\Shut down your system immediately if unable to log security audits
   This policy can be found on the default domain policy, default domain controller policy, and local security policy.
   
   NOTE: Even if you disable this policy setting, make the registry change that is described in step 2.
5. Disable security auditing.
   
   If you cannot disable security auditing, archive the Security log and clear the log.

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

If you set the Shut down system immediately if unable to log security audits Group Policy setting, the CrashOnAuditFail registry value is automatically set to 1. However, if you shut down the server and then restart it, the CrashOnAuditFail registry data type is set to REG_NONE and the data value is set to 2. If you change the CrashOnAuditFail data type to REG_DWORD and set the data value to 0, the DNS snap-in can gain access to the Active Directory-integrated DNS. If you set the CrashOnAuditFail data value to 0 (disable), after you reapply the Group Policy setting, the data value is set to 1 again.

Even if you set the Security log size to 4 gigabytes (GB), the symptoms that are described in the "Summary" section of this article can occur if the Security log size reaches 200 to 300 megabytes (MB).
