DNS on 2008R2

2010-10-08 Thread greg.sweers
Anyone tell me why 2 AD DNS servers that were running perfectly find would 
suddenly stop doing all recursive queries outside of the network.  I had to run 
this
dnscmd /config /EnableEDNSProbes 0
which apparently disables larger UDP packets, but I am trying to find out if 
there was an recent update that would have caused this, or someone who is not 
supposed to be playing with the servers is being a bad boy.

Drove me nuts for 2 days until I stumbled upon a thread that recommended trying 
that cmd and it fixed it immediately after I ran it on both servers.

Thx

Greg

Are you using forwarders? Have they been changed?
Our older version Cisco Network Registrar goes bonkers if I dont disable
EDNS Probes on the 2008R2 dc's that forward to it.
