Any Error: lines in there need to be fixed in your Microsoft AD dns server. Many times there is left over information from old servers, servers that have been renamed or re purposed. Some times there is old information from a server that was installed but was incorrectly configured. When the server is fixed, the new information gets registered but the old information is not removed. 

Also use the Microsoft dnslint program to validate your MS AD DNS information. All errors should be resolved to ensure proper dns resolution.
