If you get this message, go ahead and run through the wizard, skipping the
step to create a new zone. Make sure there is no "." Forward Lookup zone, if
there is, delete it. Then refresh the console to enable root hints, you can
optionally configure a forwarder for your DNS. A recommended forwarder might
be your ISP's DNS servers or your router, if your router is capable of being
a DNS proxy service.
There may be a problem for mail servers using a Win2k3 DNS server, if the
Win2k3 DNS server is behind a firewall that blocks UDP packets over 512
bytes.
If the latter is true, you need to increase the maximum UDP packet size on
the firewall to the MTU of the internet link, or disable EDNS on the DNS
server.
