Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

There are 2 DCs and 2 DNS servers. DC1 is a DC and a DNS server, DC2
is DC only, and the third server I was referring to is DNS only and
is set up as secondary. Should it be set up differently? My
problems still exist after making the previous changes and rebooting.
Thanks!

If you have two DCs, I would suggest to make the other a DNS server and
eliminate the Secondary on the member server. Numerous benefits. I would
make the partner as the first entry, and itself as the second entry. Same
with the client machines. Make sure updates are allowed on the zone.

I would also suggest to remove that PPP connection off the DC. That can
cause numerous issues, and as Meinold stated, it is highly recommended to
NOT multihome a DC. This may be the root of all your problems. Multihoming a
DC cause numerous problems, ESPECIALLY if it is a PPP connection. What is
that connection for? ADSL? VPN from RRAS? If for a PPPoE connection for
ADSL, I would suggest eliminating it completely and using a $40 USD LInksys
router, if budget is a concern. If budget is no concern, I suggest to get a
Pix. If for VPN, I suggest to put RRAS on the member server.

If you want to keep the PPP connection on the server (RRAS or not), I have a
multi-step method to properly configure it that includes a few registry
changes. But I don't think you want to go through all of that and would want
to make your life a little easier by single-homing the machine.
