Situation

Seeing error in DNS debug screen or log files
client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx#53: update 'zonename/IN' denied"

Resolution

Using iManager or the DNS/DHCP Management utility select the zone listed in the error and on the Control List tab or screen under the Allow Update Option, add "any", or the devices IP address that is listed in the error.

The other way to eliminate the error is to configure the listed updating device to not attempt to update it's record in the zone.
