I have Windows 2003 server that is in a small business. We have it setup as
a domain controller and file and print server. We currently do not have it
as a DNS Server. We let our ISP take care of that. We have been having some
computers take a long time to log on to the network or have to reboot a
couple of times before they get connected. They have been getting Auto
Enrollment errors and Event ID 15 and 1054 every now and then. I found a
microsoft article 291382 that said the server should point to itself for DNS
resolution and not to the ISP. Does this mean I have to install DNS server
on my file and print server so I don't have the log in problems? Thanks
