DNS_ERROR_ZONE_NOT_SECONDARY

DNS_ERROR_ZONE_NOT_SECONDARY means an action intended for a secondary zone was requested on a different zone type. The same zone name can exist with different roles on different servers, so inspect the local server’s actual zone type.

What to check

  • Check the zone type on the server receiving the command.
  • Run the secondary-only operation against the appropriate secondary server, or use the primary-zone workflow when the target is writable.
  • Verify whether the zone is AD-integrated, because its replication behavior differs from classic secondary transfers.
