| I have a 2008 standard full DC at a friend's home that is behaving erratically for DNS name resolution.
- The DC is answering fine for the zones it hosts. - No forwarders are configured on the DC. - It will not resolve and Internet names. - If queried for the name server records for the root servers, it does not reply with a list of the root servers. - No errors in the DNS server log.
Have tried a few things including re-installing DNS, deleting and re-adding the root hints, but no luck.
Is this a known bug, and does anyone have a solution other than replacing the DC?
thanks and regards, -Ravi

| Hi Ravi, Have you got a root zone on the DNS server? If so, see below from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323380How to Remove the Root DNS ZoneA DNS server running Windows Server 2003 follows specific steps in its name-resolution process. A DNS server first queries its cache, it checks its zone records, it sends requests to forwarders, and then it tries resolution by using root servers.
By default, a Microsoft DNS server connects to the Internet to process DNS requests more with root hints. When you use the Dcpromo tool to promote a server to a domain controller, the domain controller requires DNS. If you install DNS during the promotion process, a root zone is created. This root zone indicates to your DNS server that it is a root Internet server. Therefore, your DNS server does not use forwarders or root hints in the name-resolution process.
1. Click *Start*, point to *Administrative Tools*, and then click *DNS*. 2. Expand *ServerName*, where ServerName is the name of the server, click *Properties*and then expand *Forward Lookup Zones*. 3. Right-click the *"."* zone, and then click *Delete*.
I hope this helps.

| Though I have not witnessed this issues when building 08 (gold/R2) and adding DNS *on the go* with the dcpromo process, if you do have the (.root) zone created, as you delete it, you will see this warning (see attached) as the server will now create the root hints for you, and you should then be able to resolve the internet queries.

Hi Ravi,
Have you got a root zone on the DNS server? If so, see below from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323380
How to Remove the Root DNS Zone
A DNS server running Windows Server 2003 follows specific steps in its name-resolution process. A DNS server first queries its cache, it checks its zone records, it sends requests to forwarders, and then it tries resolution by using root servers.
By default, a Microsoft DNS server connects to the Internet to process DNS requests more with root hints. When you use the Dcpromo tool to promote a server to a domain controller, the domain controller requires DNS. If you install DNS during the promotion process, a root zone is created. This root zone indicates to your DNS server that it is a root Internet server. Therefore, your DNS server does not use forwarders or root hints in the name-resolution process.
1. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click DNS. 2. Expand ServerName, where ServerName is the name of the server, click Propertiesand then expand Forward Lookup Zones. 3. Right-click the "." zone, and then click Delete.
I hope this helps.

| When you say "out of the box" do you mean none? Sorry if I misunderstood. Is there a firewall preventing DNS traffic from the DNS server out to the Internet?
Also, have you disabled recursion? See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc787602(WS.10).aspx for more on that.
Let us know how you get on.
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Ravi,
Have you got a root zone on the DNS server? If so, see below from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323380 How to Remove the Root DNS Zone A DNS server running Windows Server 2003 follows specific steps in its name-resolution process. A DNS server first queries its cache, it checks its zone records, it sends requests to forwarders, and then it tries resolution by using root servers.
By default, a Microsoft DNS server connects to the Internet to process DNS requests more with root hints. When you use the Dcpromo tool to promote a server to a domain controller, the domain controller requires DNS. If you install DNS during the promotion process, a root zone is created. This root zone indicates to your DNS server that it is a root Internet server. Therefore, your DNS server does not use forwarders or root hints in the name-resolution process.
1. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click DNS. 2. Expand ServerName, where ServerName is the name of the server, click Propertiesand then expand Forward Lookup Zones. 3. Right-click the "." zone, and then click Delete.
I hope this helps.

I have a 2008 standard full DC at a friend's home that is behaving erratically for DNS name resolution.
- The DC is answering fine for the zones it hosts. - No forwarders are configured on the DC. - It will not resolve and Internet names. - If queried for the name server records for the root servers, it does not reply with a list of the root servers. - No errors in the DNS server log.
Have tried a few things including re-installing DNS, deleting and re-adding the root hints, but no luck.
Is this a known bug, and does anyone have a solution other than replacing the DC?
thanks and regards, -Ravi

When you say "out of the box" do you mean none? Sorry if I misunderstood.
Is there a firewall preventing DNS traffic from the DNS server out to the Internet?
Also, have you disabled recursion? See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc787602(WS.10).aspx for more on that.
Let us know how you get on.
Thanks,

Ditto. Forwarders tab should be empty OOB.

Nope - no root zone, just the out of the box forwarders that come with 2008.

Hi Ravi,
Have you got a root zone on the DNS server? If so, see below from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323380
How to Remove the Root DNS Zone
A DNS server running Windows Server 2003 follows specific steps in its name-resolution process. A DNS server first queries its cache, it checks its zone records, it sends requests to forwarders, and then it tries resolution by using root servers.
By default, a Microsoft DNS server connects to the Internet to process DNS requests more with root hints. When you use the Dcpromo tool to promote a server to a domain controller, the domain controller requires DNS. If you install DNS during the promotion process, a root zone is created. This root zone indicates to your DNS server that it is a root Internet server. Therefore, your DNS server does not use forwarders or root hints in the name-resolution process.
1. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click DNS. 2. Expand ServerName, where ServerName is the name of the server, click Propertiesand then expand Forward Lookup Zones. 3. Right-click the "." zone, and then click Delete.
I hope this helps.

I have a 2008 standard full DC at a friend's home that is behaving erratically for DNS name resolution.
- The DC is answering fine for the zones it hosts. - No forwarders are configured on the DC. - It will not resolve and Internet names. - If queried for the name server records for the root servers, it does not reply with a list of the root servers. - No errors in the DNS server log.
Have tried a few things including re-installing DNS, deleting and re-adding the root hints, but no luck.
Is this a known bug, and does anyone have a solution other than replacing the DC?
thanks and regards, -Ravi

| Wonder if your ISP is involved here blocking DNS lookups to other than their servers. That would surprise me but worth looking at. Fire up NSLOOKUP and set it to look up at a dns server from outside your ISP and test it.

Is there a firewall preventing DNS traffic from the DNS server out to the Internet?

Have you got a root zone on the DNS server? If so, see below from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323380 How to Remove the Root DNS Zone A DNS server running Windows Server 2003 follows specific steps in its name-resolution process. A DNS server first queries its cache, it checks its zone records, it sends requests to forwarders, and then it tries resolution by using root servers.
By default, a Microsoft DNS server connects to the Internet to process DNS requests more with root hints. When you use the Dcpromo tool to promote a server to a domain controller, the domain controller requires DNS. If you install DNS during the promotion process, a root zone is created. This root zone indicates to your DNS server that it is a root Internet server. Therefore, your DNS server does not use forwarders or root hints in the name-resolution process. 1. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click DNS. 2. Expand ServerName, where ServerName is the name of the server, click Propertiesand then expand Forward Lookup Zones. 3. Right-click the "." zone, and then click Delete. I hope this helps.

I have a 2008 standard full DC at a friend's home that is behaving erratically for DNS name resolution.
- The DC is answering fine for the zones it hosts. - No forwarders are configured on the DC. - It will not resolve and Internet names. - If queried for the name server records for the root servers, it does not reply with a list of the root servers. - No errors in the DNS server log.
Have tried a few things including re-installing DNS, deleting and re-adding the root hints, but no luck.
Is this a known bug, and does anyone have a solution other than replacing the DC?
thanks and regards, -Ravi

| that works fine. As well as queries from the linksys router and direct queries to the Internet. The server is behaving as if it does not know about the root servers. But the root servers do show up in the interface, and in adsiedit. They also got re-created from the file in the samples directory following the KB on this after deleting them.

Hi Ravi,
Have you got a root zone on the DNS server? If so, see below from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323380
How to Remove the Root DNS Zone
A DNS server running Windows Server 2003 follows specific steps in its name-resolution process. A DNS server first queries its cache, it checks its zone records, it sends requests to forwarders, and then it tries resolution by using root servers.
By default, a Microsoft DNS server connects to the Internet to process DNS requests more with root hints. When you use the Dcpromo tool to promote a server to a domain controller, the domain controller requires DNS. If you install DNS during the promotion process, a root zone is created. This root zone indicates to your DNS server that it is a root Internet server. Therefore, your DNS server does not use forwarders or root hints in the name-resolution process.
1. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click DNS.
2. Expand ServerName, where ServerName is the name of the server, click Propertiesand then expand Forward Lookup Zones.
3. Right-click the "." zone, and then click Delete.
I hope this helps.

| Flush the DNS client and DNS server caches, then take a network trace. Is anything leaving the server?

that works fine. As well as queries from the linksys router and direct queries to the Internet. The server is behaving as if it does not know about the root servers. But the root servers do show up in the interface, and in adsiedit. They also got re-created from the file in the samples directory following the KB on this after deleting them.

When you say "out of the box" do you mean none? Sorry if I misunderstood.
Is there a firewall preventing DNS traffic from the DNS server out to the Internet?
Also, have you disabled recursion? See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc787602(WS.10).aspx<http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc787602%28WS.10%29.aspx> for more on that.

Have you got a root zone on the DNS server? If so, see below from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323380 How to Remove the Root DNS Zone A DNS server running Windows Server 2003 follows specific steps in its name-resolution process. A DNS server first queries its cache, it checks its zone records, it sends requests to forwarders, and then it tries resolution by using root servers.
By default, a Microsoft DNS server connects to the Internet to process DNS requests more with root hints. When you use the Dcpromo tool to promote a server to a domain controller, the domain controller requires DNS. If you install DNS during the promotion process, a root zone is created. This root zone indicates to your DNS server that it is a root Internet server. Therefore, your DNS server does not use forwarders or root hints in the name-resolution process. 1. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click DNS. 2. Expand ServerName, where ServerName is the name of the server, click Propertiesand then expand Forward Lookup Zones. 3. Right-click the "." zone, and then click Delete. I hope this helps.

I have a 2008 standard full DC at a friend's home that is behaving erratically for DNS name resolution.
- The DC is answering fine for the zones it hosts. - No forwarders are configured on the DC. - It will not resolve and Internet names. - If queried for the name server records for the root servers, it does not reply with a list of the root servers. - No errors in the DNS server log.
Have tried a few things including re-installing DNS, deleting and re-adding the root hints, but no luck.
Is this a known bug, and does anyone have a solution other than replacing the DC?
thanks and regards, -Ravi

| Did you, perhaps, disable and enable IPv6 after installing DNS on this server?
If you look in your hosts file, is the IPv6 entry commented out?
In DNS GUI, what interface is DNS listening on? All interfaces, or specific interface? What happens if you toggle the settings, restart DNS and test again?
What happens IF you configure this server to use ONLY an EXTERNAL DNS server in TCP/IP. Does EXTERNAL name resolution work then?

| Nope - didn't change the DNS service behaviour - still broken. However, the RDP connection to the server now drops every 3-4 mins after binding IPv6 to the network connection. The external resolution works if the server is set to use an external name server.

You hit it right on the head - Looks like my friend had unbound the IPv6 protocol from the adapter. Cant be sure yet, as my connection to it dropped after I checked the box, but will confirm and let you know.
Thanks ! -Ravi

Did you, perhaps, disable and enable IPv6 after installing DNS on this server?
If you look in your hosts file, is the IPv6 entry commented out?
In DNS GUI, what interface is DNS listening on? All interfaces, or specific interface? What happens if you toggle the settings, restart DNS and test again?
What happens IF you configure this server to use ONLY an EXTERNAL DNS server in TCP/IP. Does EXTERNAL name resolution work then?

Here you go. It's a home environment, so IP's / names are a non-issue

Let's see the output of "ipconfig /all" from the DNS server. You can mask the REAL IPs if you want.

I am not aware of "out of the box forwarders" with 2008. What are they, just for clarification?
Thanks,
Andrew

Nope - no root zone, just the out of the box forwarders that come with 2008..

Hi Ravi,
Have you got a root zone on the DNS server? If so, see below from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323380 How to Remove the Root DNS Zone A DNS server running Windows Server 2003 follows specific steps in its name-resolution process. A DNS server first queries its cache, it checks its zone records, it sends requests to forwarders, and then it tries resolution by using root servers.
By default, a Microsoft DNS server connects to the Internet to process DNS requests more with root hints. When you use the Dcpromo tool to promote a server to a domain controller, the domain controller requires DNS. If you install DNS during the promotion process, a root zone is created. This root zone indicates to your DNS server that it is a root Internet server. Therefore, your DNS server does not use forwarders or root hints in the name-resolution process.
1. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click DNS. 2. Expand ServerName, where ServerName is the name of the server, click Propertiesand then expand Forward Lookup Zones. 3. Right-click the "." zone, and then click Delete.
I hope this helps.
Andrew

I have a 2008 standard full DC at a friend's home that is behaving erratically for DNS name resolution.
- The DC is answering fine for the zones it hosts. - No forwarders are configured on the DC. - It will not resolve and Internet names. - If queried for the name server records for the root servers, it does not reply with a list of the root servers. - No errors in the DNS server log.
Have tried a few things including re-installing DNS, deleting and re-adding the root hints, but no luck.
Is this a known bug, and does anyone have a solution other than replacing the DC?
thanks and regards, -Ravi
