Hi Guys

I have been having some issues with one of our clients DNS Server, they called me on Tuesday to say that some websites are working and some not, which I found odd...I logged onto the server had a look at the events etc but found nothing..before I troubleshooted any further they notified me that all was up and running again.
As I was realllly busy I left it there.
Today they called again having the same issue, I once again logged onto the server, this time doing a tracert to the affected websites, the result was an immediate cannot resolve..
I checked all services were running, restarted the Dns server service..and all is up and running again...thing is what caused this.:confused:..there is no event registered for any of this.

I then did some research and found that there is a hotfix that Microsoft released for the EXACT same issue...but the hotfix only applies to Server 2008 R2??

What would you guys suggest?
 
Found the solution!

So... after some blood sweat and tears I managed to find the solution.

Seems like there is a knwn issue with SBS2008 and DNS using root hints.
I cleared the root hints and configured DNS forwarders... working like a charm!

Happy camper again! :D
