Is the IP address 192.175.48.1 the DC/DNS server's IP address? That appears
to be an Internet DNS Root server when I looked it up at
www.arin.net. If
that is an external IP address, its telling me that your Exchange server's
IP property is configured to use that as its DNS server. Is that correct?
Can you confirm that please?
Just want to point out, with AD you can only use your internal servers or
numerous errors may occur.
In this case, it appears that its sending a reverse registration request to
192.175.48.1, which is an outside server, and apparently its a BIND server
configured with TSIG, hence the security related message.
If you want efficient outside resolution, configure a forwarder in DNS
properties to an outside DNS, such as 4.2.2.2,. (192.175.48.1 doesn't allow
recursion), so it resolves the names for the clients by forwarding requests
to that outside DNS and returns the answer to the internal clients.
Can you post an ipconfig /all of this machine please?
Thanks
Here's some info on it, but not much with this error:
