Re: Domain Controller Stops Processing All Login Requests Randomly

One thing I am still baffled by is why the problem is exihibited on the DC
when they are configured correctly. The whole subnet can't login to the
domain and I can't login in to the DC (which is essentially logging into the
domain as a client too). Do the clients that are misconfigured somehow
communicate a DNS errror and cause the DNS server to hang on the DC? If I
restart the DNS service without rebooting it doesn't help. Could this in
any way be Active Directory related?
