Event logging of DNS not working

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi all,

I have two DC's which are both running DNS. One is a W2K server, the
other one a W2003-SP1 server.
Active Directory integrated.
Since a few months, there are no more entries in the DNS event logs of
neither server, except for 1 entry each time I restart the service
(event 2 - DNS server started).
On the W2K server, I don't see any option to enable/disable the logging.
But on the W2003 server, the DNS management console is slightly
different. There you can go into each DNS servers' properties and
there is a tab "Event logging". I see there that it is set to "No
events" to be logged. If I change it to another setting, e.g. "Errors
and Warnings" and I push Apply or OK, then nothing changes. The change
does not seem to be really executed. If I go into the properties of the
server back again, the Event Logging is again set to "No Events".

This seems like a bug in W2003 to me. I would like to work around it.
Is there another way (maybe a registry change) to set the DNS event
logging back on again?


TIA
