Re: DNS Root Hints Question

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

BTW, the only time the root hints would be used is if you have no DNS
forwarders set up.

You need to use the "Copy from server" to put back the defaults.

I deleted the only Root Hints entry of
'ourservername'.'ourdomainname'.local and this seems to have halted the
literally thousands of ID 7062 errors that were being generated on our
new and functional 2003 R2 Premium SBS server . Set up was through
the CEICW wizard.

Should we be running with no Root Hints? (Our old SBS2000 server had
about a dozen entries of the format Name: 'letter'.root-servers.net. IP
Address: [external IP address] which seem to have been generated
automatically.)

TIA
