Ive scoured the site for the answer for this, but being so new to Server2003 and AD, Ive yet to find the exact solution. So, I apologize for the duplication.
Ive got a single Win2003 Enterprise server, acting as PDC, running AD/DNS. DHCP is handled by a Cisco ASA 5505. Users can access the server resources, as well as external websites, but in order to access external sites, I had to configure external DNS along with internal server DNS on each client.
Users are complaining of random, intermittent general slow-downs in LAN access to server resources.
In looking in the event viewer, I found there to be HUNDREDS of entries in the DNS Server section like this:
Event ID: 7062 Source: DNS
The DNS server encountered a packet addressed to itself on IP address 192.168.0.2. The packet is for the DNS name “_ldap._tcp.pdc._msdcs.lightsaber.local.”. The packet will be discarded. This condition usually indicates a configuration error.
Ive read quite a bit about removing/reinstalling DNS, but have yet to be able to successfully remove DNS. When I remove/reinstall, the same settings are present. I used this process… to no avail:
-remove dns in configure your server
-remove dns folder from system32
-in system32\config remove netlogon.dnb and netlogon.dns
reinstall dns (configure your server) with the correct zone name
then at the command prompt:
ipconfig /registerdns
net stop netlogon
net start netlogon
If someone could please either let me know how to fix the error, OR… properly remove/reinstall DNS… that would be great. Again, Im new to AD, so it seems I require a bit of a dumbed down advice.
If any of you have stock in Advil… “your welcome”.
Thanks !
