DNS won't load my local zone due to AD problem

My DNS won't load the local zone due to an unspecified problem with Active
directory.

It appears when our Windows 2000 SBS spontaneously rebooted a couple of days
ago, it has a problem with AD. Every five minutes there is a new Event ID
901 in the "Directory Service" event viewer from NTDS ISAM.

I can't find any information on this error. Any help would be much
appreciated.

Can you post the full event please?

I was able to resolve this problem by booting into Directory Service Restore
Mode and performing a "Repair" with Ntdsutil.exe
