I can't see anything amiss in the event viewer
under "directory service" but under "DSN server" there are
many errors like this;

Source: DNS
Event: 4004
"The DNS server was unable to complete directory service
enumeration of zone _msdcs.ChiltM.local. This DNS server
is configured to use information obtained from Active
Directory for this zone and is unable to load the zone
without it. Check that the Active Directory is
functioning properly and repeat enumeration of the zone.
The extended error debug information (which may be empty)
is "". The event data contains the error."

and ...

Source: DNS
Event: 4015
"The DNS server has encountered a critical error from the
Active Directory. Check that the Active Directory is
functioning properly. The extended error debug information
(which may be empty) is "". The event data contains the
error."

I've upgraded from SBS 5.5 a few months ago and the active
directory is new to me. Can you suggest a place I could
start to learn about active directory? Should I buy a book?
