Acive Directory and DNS
-
When I built this Win2K server I accepted all the defaults, not having any clear reason to change anything from the MS recommendations. That included installing DNS and AD, and integrating the two. Since then the system has been plagued by 5774 errors, and the System Event log has to be emptied every few days. I tried for months to find some combination of settings for DNS that would clear up the problem, including every solution found in the KB. None helped in any way. A few weeks ago I disabled DNS since I don't currently have any clients connected to the machine, and I had hopes that this would also stop the error messages. It hasn't. Today I was again musing over the problem and am wondering if the problem might really lie in AD, and the DNS is merely responding to faults that lie elsewhere. Should I remove DNS from AD? What other unintended consequences will a DNSectomy cause? "My child was Inmate of the Month at Mohave County Jail" - Bumper Sticker in Bullhead City, AZ

I looked it over, but I've tried most of the suggestions listed there. Nothing seems to work. One possibility I may try is to delete all the zone info that Win2K installed for me and rebuild it from scratch. It's also possible that my ISP is interfering somehow, I guess. The policy is to not allow customers to run Internet servers, but I've been doing so for a couple of years. The guy that runs the ISP (a one man shop) is more well-meaning than well-trained, and I've had to assist him many a time, so it has never occurred to me that he might know how to enforce this policy. Perhaps he's taken a night class or two... :-) Thanks for the suggestion! "My child was Inmate of the Month at Mohave County Jail" - Bumper Sticker in Bullhead City, AZ
