Server 2016 Std DNS BPA Errors
I have three DNS errors and a large number of warnings which I cannot resolve. There is also a problem with Windows Time which cannot resolve the time server and defaults to the CMOS clock. ...

Thanks again.
Looks Ok to me. I'd suggest removing the router address as forwarder. There are quite a number of DCOM errors in system event log that may need attention. As to anything DNS I'd check the system event log for related errors since last boot.
- Hi DaveThanks for the response and apologies for the delay in replying. I don't come to site too often and don't like making some changes remotely.I've removed the router IP from the list of forwarders but still have the same BPA results.When I ran the DNS configuration wizard I selected 'small network' there being only nine users and 12 devices hence only creating forward lookup zones. Should I try rerunning the wizard selecting large users and hence creating forward and reverse lookup zones? This is the only server on the network and as such has the FSMO roles.Thanks.
- Are the IPv6 root hints actually reachable? Does you have an IPv6 internet connection? I would assume not. If so, you can delete the IPv6 root hints.
The reverse lookup zone is not required, but can ease troubleshooting. You can just create it manually and you're finished. In the dialog, enter the IP address of your network backwards. For example, the reverse lookup zone for 192.168.0.0/24 is 0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. For any errors reported I'd check the system event log for more details.
