Hello Andrew,

The root zone is not needed, except you have a root server. For the settings please post an unedited ipconfig /all from the server and one client.

Best regards

Thanks for that. I have had a look at our DNS and identified a
possible cause, in that our DNS was originally set up as a root DNS.
I'm not sure how it has actually managed to work in the past (or even
how it manages to function now - I assume IE must be handling internet
DNS requests). I wonder now whether during boot up on some PCs, an
application may be trying to reach the internet but cannot resolve the
name, and thus is hanging.

I will remove the .(root) section from the Forward Lookup Zones.
Hopefully the effect will be spectacularly positive rather than the
other way round!
