Windows 2003 Server AD question

Hi!

I am onsite today and am starting to install a new Windows 2003 server and some workstations. The server is setup, but when I went to setup Active Directory, I had forgot to setup DNS first. The AD setup prompted me to install DNS, which I did, but now when the server starts, I get these event codes:

4015: The DNS server has encountered a critical error from the Active Directory. Check that the AD is functioning properly.....

and

4004: The DNS server was unable to complete directory service enumeration of zone ..

I have looked it up online, but have not found a clear answer. Any ideas? The server has been running for about 45 minutes and those errors only happened on reboot (each time). After the computer has booted, there are no more errors.

A piece of info I found, said that if the DNS server starts before AD, these errors show up.

Did I miss a step? Any help would be great.

Dave
