DNS_ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_SIGNING_KEY_DESCRIPTORS

DNS_ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_SIGNING_KEY_DESCRIPTORS means the zone lacks the signing-key configuration required to operate DNSSEC. A normally signed zone needs both a Key Signing Key (KSK) and a Zone Signing Key (ZSK) role.

What to check

  • List the signing keys and confirm that the zone has active keys for both KSK and ZSK responsibilities.
  • Check whether a previous key rollover removed, revoked, or failed to activate a required key.
  • Add or repair keys through the DNS Server DNSSEC cmdlets; do not create DNSKEY records manually.
