We have a single site migrated from 2003 AD to 2008 R2. Physical. We do have the HyperV role loaded at the request of the client to add a small app that he might put on there.
DCdiag reports no issues other than the RODC errors which we have not run. EDns has been shutoff. (Confirmed registry entry gets created after its run) IPV6 has been disabled. Tried it with it on and off. Users can be happily browsing the web for hours or minutes and then when they hit a google, especially gmail, page cannot be displayed. Usually a refresh and the page comes up. Sometimes it takes a few minutes and then all users can browse those sites. Streaming audio/video, network access, VPN to other site for IP Phone system all work without issue. All computers pull DHCP from server with single DNS of the DC. Firewall is a watchguard 11.4.2 XTM that has a single Packet Filter for DNS allowing all outbound from the trusted network. No proxy or DNS advanced mechanisms in place. When the computer cannot access the webpage, doing an nslookup fails because the DNS server does not respond. Give it a minute and then it works fine. If I move their DNS settings to the previous 2003 box which I configured with DNS for testing, it works without any issues. Once I move it back to the DC I get this randomness. The DNS server just randomly stops responding during this time. Any ideas??? I have been banging my head out on this for 2 weeks now. Greg Sweers CEO ACTS360.com<http://www.acts360.com/> P.O.
