Re: The DNS server could not find or open zone file dns

What is does the Data portion of event id 1004 contain? You may have to
recreate the zone. See also

Well, here's my scenario. Yesterday, I edited my foward lookup file. At
the same time, the server ran out of hard drive space showing only 14MB
available on drive C: - I did not figure this out until after some
troubleshooting and a reboot. When I opened the event viewer I noticed
the following in DNS server events:

Event ID: 1004
The DNS server could not find or open zone file
dns\us.mydomain.com.dns. in the %SystemRoot%\System32\Dns directory.
Verify that the zone file is located in this directory and that it
contains valid data.

When I looked at the file, I noticed that is was zero k in size (looks
funny if I type '0k') so I looked in the folder in the same directory
called backup and found a replacement. However, the replacement file
was dated 2002. After doing this, amoung other strange things happening
on the network all MS 2002 standard outlook clients are getting
"outlook is retrieving data from the exchange server" delay messages.

Any ideas?
