DNS Event ID 4013 — DNS is waiting for Active Directory synchronization
What does this error mean?
The DNS service integrated with AD waits for initial synchronization before loading certain areas.
Probable causes

- isolated start
- DNS pointing to itself without partner available
Verification and resolution
- Control AD replication
- Check DNS client DC
- Review Events Directory Service
Precaution: Do not remove built-in AD areas to bypass, wait.
