We have a domain controller where we get an error message of "The DNS server at x.x.x.x in Ethernet cannot resolve the names in the primary DNS domain zone".

All users, workstations, and server can login to the domain and no is have trouble getting to the internet or internal website.

How do we fix this and take step to make sure this doesn't happen again.

    Please run;

    Dcdiag /v /c /d /e /s:%computername% >C:\dcdiag.log
    repadmin /showrepl >C:\repl.txt
    ipconfig /all > C:\dc1.txt
    ipconfig /all > C:\dc2.txt
    ipconfig /all > C:\dc3.txt
    ipconfig /all > C:\problemworkstation.txt

    then put unzipped text files up on OneDrive and share a link.

    This was solved in the end by a update from Microsoft.
