Event ID: 4007 DNS Server error

The DNS server was unable to open zone _msdcs.nwtraders.msft in the Active Directory from the application directory partition ForestDnsZones.nwtraders.msft. This DNS server is configured to obtain and use information from the directory for this zone and is unable to load the zone without it. Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly and reload the zone. The event data is the error code.

Remove the offending zone entries from:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\DNS Server\Zone

  1. Yes, and then what ?
    The error might go away, but it needs working zones...

    In my case I have 5 different ones, but Im getting the error for two

    The DNS server was unable to open zone _msdcs.rob****-*********.com in the Active Directory from the application directory partition ForestDnsZones.rob***-******.com. This DNS server is configured to obtain and use information from the directory for this zone and is unable to load the zone without it. Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly and reload the zone.

    the ones that gets no error are:
    _msdcs.s****.local
    s****.local
    0.168.192.in-addr.arpa
