Hi,

We have 16 sites in AD.
I am getting error 404 and 408 in the DNS. Every time i get those errors (once per week) i have to reboot the server, otherwise i cant work with that domain controller.

I am posting the errors

404
The DNS server could not bind a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) socket to address
0.0.0.0. The event data is the error code. An IP address of 0.0.0.0 can indicate a valid "any address" configuration in which all configured IP addresses on the computer are available for use.
Restart the DNS server or reboot the computer

408

Login to server and open properties of the Local Area Connection then TCP/IP Protocol. Make sure a static IP address is applied to server and in the DNS section, its own IP address is given to resolve DNS.

These errors indicate that the DNS Services wasn't able to bind to the TCP port that it wants to use (DNS runs on TCP port 53, and UDP port 53). By default DNS is configured to run on all IP address, which DNS reads as ip address 0.0.0.0
In most cases this inicates that another program is using port 53.
Try restarting the DNS Service before you restart the Server. If it still fails find out which program is using port 53.
A failed DNS for a domain contrller means that it can't work while the DNS is down, because AD relies on DNS to run.
To find out which program is using port 53 you can download this free program from sysinternals:

hope this helps.
