DNS Failures AndWill 6/26/2007 1:00:00 PM We are running in a Windows 2003 Active Directory environment with 2 DNS servers. Occasionally we get DNS failures with little or no evidence in the event viewer logs. However recently I have noticed the event below which occurred prior to the DNS failure:- Event Type: Warning Event Source: DNS Event Category: None Event ID: 3000 Date: 6/22/2007 Time: 10:18:25 AM User: N/A Computer: ECSSWS2 Description: The DNS server has encountered numerous run-time events. To determine the initial cause of these run-time events, examine the DNS server event log entries that precede this event. To prevent the DNS server from filling the event log too quickly, subsequent events with Event IDs higher than 3000 will be suppressed until events are no longer being generated at a high rate.

Are there any other events accompanied with this? Do you have any standard secondary zones? Any standard primary zones? How is forwarding configured? -- Best regards, Kevin D.
