Hi Ace;

There's no dumb questions - At this point I can't understand why this
isn't working. The machine is solid, it's never been butchered or had
goofy apps installed on it etc - it's a quality machine.

I'm deleting the entire DNS Key located here;

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\DNS
Server

In addition I tried renaming the dns related files in the config
directory earlier to .old and even re-booted the server after going
in to event viewer and right clicking on the DNS entry in the left
pane and selecting delete.

It's worth noting that when I do that it does get deleted but it
comes right back the next time I open Event Viewer.

I'm just guessing - but it must be related to this machine having
been a DC. When I ran DCPROMO it worked properly and another machine
became the controller. The DNS Service is not installed and I've even
tried re-installing DNS and then removing it through Add/Remove
Programs thinking that would get rid of it - no dice.

Is there anything else I can do to get rid of it? I have the same
problem with Directory Service and File Replication Service being in
the event viewer too so it's not just the DNS entry.

Thanks!
Marvin

Those steps usually take care of it. I haven't come across any problems such
as this as of yet.

I posted to our private MVP group to see if anyone has any suggestions. I'll
post back either way.
