DNS Problems Windows Server 2012

[amallon]

Hi,

I have a domain controller which is also a DNS server. There are no other DC's or DNS servers on the network. I am having a problem with machines taking 15mins to logon and I have traced this back to a DNS problem on the server. This server has only been installed a week. In the TCP IP Configuration of the NIC i have set the Primary DNS to 192.168.0.100 the servers own IP.

In event viewer I'm seeing

Event 4015
The DNS server has encountered a critical error from the Active Directory. Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly. The extended error debug information (which may be empty) is "". The event data contains the error.

Event 4013
The DNS server is waiting for Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) to signal that the initial synchronization of the directory has been completed. The DNS server service cannot start until the initial synchronization is complete because critical DNS data might not yet be replicated onto this domain controller. If events in the AD DS event log indicate that there is a problem with DNS name resolution, consider adding the IP address of another DNS server for this domain to the DNS server list in the Internet Protocol properties of this computer. This event will be logged every two minutes until AD DS has signaled that the initial synchronization has successfully completed.

This server has two nic's but I have disabled one in an attempt to resolve this problem. No luck with that either

I found the cause of my problem was that I hadn't setup exclusions for my Anti Virus. See this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822158
