    It seems clear from the knowledgebase article and
    searching technet that this is the only problem like it
    and is definitely the EXACT problem we are having, the
    DNS server referred to in the Event Log isn't even in our
    list of forwarders, which have all been working fine for
    ages. Microsoft state in the article;

    "Note In special cases, charges that are ordinarily
    incurred for support calls may be canceled if a Microsoft
    Support Professional determines that a specific update
    will resolve your problem. The usual support costs will
    apply to additional support questions and issues that do
    not qualify for the specific update in question."

    But you have to buy support first and hope they cancel
    it? for something that you dont have to pay for? Great...

    Being told you dont have to pay for a hot fix doesn't
    really help. Being told how and where to GET the hot fix
    WITHOUT paying for support WOULD help, anybody have any
    idea how to obtain this hotfix?

    For clarification, what we need is this...

    Thanks in advance for any information leading to the
    capture of this illusive file ;-)
