Event ID 4515, DNS zones duplication
i had found few solutions on microsoft and some other sites but need to know the best solution.
The following warining message is appare in my Forest Domain Controller DNS event loges.
The zone xyz.com.net was previously loaded from the directory partition DomainDnsZones.ufonegsm.ne
If an administrator has moved this zone from one directory partition to another this may be a harmless transient condition. In this case, no action is necessary. The deletion of the original copy of the zone should soon replicate to this server.
If there are two copies of this zone in two different directory partitions but this is not a transient caused by a zone move operation then one of these copies should be deleted as soon as possible to resolve this conflict.
To change the replication scope of an application directory partition containing DNS zones and for more details on storing DNS zones in the application directory partitions, please see Help and Support.

This approach is a lot less destructive than many I have seen on the net (deleting zones manually etc!)..... At least this way... if you make a mistake somewhere you still have a DNS running :)
Good Luck.
