Description:
The system failed to register pointer (PTR) resource records (RRs) for network adapter
with settings:
Adapter Name : {357970E8-A46D-48D0-A068-696CDD521B95}
Host Name : *******
Adapter-specific Domain Suffix : **********.LOCAL
DNS server list :
192.168.1.10, 192.168.1.11
Sent update to server : 192.168.1.10
IP Address : 192.168.1.13
The reason that the system could not register these RRs was because of a security related problem. The cause of this could be (a) your computer does not have permissions to register and update the specific DNS domain name set for this adapter, or (b) there might have been a problem negotiating valid credentials with the DNS server during the processing of the update request.
You can manually retry DNS registration of the network adapter and its settings by typing “ipconfig /registerdns” at the command prompt. If problems still persist, contact your DNS server or network systems administrator.

Solution: The system failed to register pointer (PTR) resource records (RRs) for network adapter with settings
Check if there’s a pointer record for 192.168.1.13 in your reverse lookup zone for 192.168.1.0.
If so, delete it, wait until the deletion has replicated to the other DNS server, then open a command prompt on the server in question, and enter
ipconfig /registerdns
