SYMPTOMS
When security auditing is enabled on a Domain Name System (DNS) server in an Active Directory domain, administrators may not be able to use any DNS Administrative Tools on a domain controller in that domain. The unavailable tools include the DNS Microsoft Management console (MMC), Dnscmd, and the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) DNS provider.
Opening the DNS MMC generates the following error message:
The DNS server service starts but does not respond to any administrative requests except for stopping the service.
