Re: DHCP Clients getting DNS lookup failures

Hi Russ... Turn off automatic updates....

Did you reboot the server after finding out about SP2 ISA?, worried now with
the manual changes you may have done

To All:

I posted about this earlier, but got no reply. So, I will update on
the progress I have made. I am currently getting DNS lookup failures
on my client machines. The server can access the Internet without
issues. The server is dual NIC running ISA Server and is acting as the

DNS and DHCP server with NAT enabled. Everything was fine on Friday
afternoon when I left. This morning, all of the clients were unable to

connect to the Internet. There were some automatic updates that
occurred at around 4:03 A.M. Saturday, one of them being the
installation of Service Pack 2 of the ISA Server 2004. Then, I noticed
in the DNS event log the following events that occurred on Saturday at
4:08 A.M.:


EventID 4015
The DNS server has encountered a critical error from the Active
Directory. Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly. The



extended error debug information (which may be empty) is "". The event
data contains the error.

Active Directory for this zone and is unable to load the zone without
it. Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly and repeat

After running a dcdiag and netdiag, I noticed that there were some
issues with the DNS, so I removed the DNS zones in AD and in Server
Management. I recereated them, flushed the DNS and registered the DNS.

Now, when I run dcdiag and netdiag, there are no errors with the DNS.

The DHCP clients all have their Primary DNS set to the local address of

the server. My ISPs DNS addresses are set in the Forwarders tab on the

server. The clients can ping the local server address and the IP
assigned to the 2nd NIC. However, they get no farther than that.

Can some brilliant soul point me in the right direction to get my
clients back up and running on the Internet?


Regards,
Russ
