I don't run my onw DNS servers internally on the domain. We use the DNS
Servers provided by the school who manages the parent domain.
All of our servers use static IP and point to the Schools main dns servers.
All other units use DHCP and they pick up one of the main DNS servers and a
local server setup within their buildings subnets
We have noticed this week that this appears to happen on several speciifc
computers and a few randon ones and irregular intervals. We have also
noticed that there are occasionally some weird DNS entries showing up such
as non server machines registering as domain master browsers (in WINS) and
as a DC. We have never noticed this happening after the hangs start, but on
2 occasion it did happen and get corrected the day before the hang started.
Bringing the affected machines up in safe mode with networking works
everytime and lets me remove the machine from the domin to correct the
issue, and I can browse the PDC nad DC's with no problem using DNS for
lookup. I know that doen's meand crud as it is not querying for PDC entries
but....
