I would have looked up the EventID#s for you, but you didn't post them. For
starters, take a look at www.eventid.net to see what they have to say about
the event IDs.
Also, it would be helpful to get a little more info about this machine.
What was the very last thing done, installed, a config change, removed, etc,
etc, prior to this occuring?
Is it up to date hotfix and updates wise?
Is RRAS installed?
Is there more than one NIC?
Is IPSec running on it?
Is it a DC?
Any third party tools, utilities, apps, etc, installed that uses the DNS
service or that may intefere with ports UDP & TCP 53?

Re: Server 2008 DNS Stops
The event ID was 1000 with a source of Application Error and a Task Category
of (100).
The server is a DC with all current updates and hot fixes. This problem has
been occurring since installation of Server 2008 on the machine which was a
new computer. There are 2 Nics, one of which is not connected to anything
and is disabled in the bios.
RRAS is not installed. IPSec is running. There are no non-Microsoft
programs installed except fot an NVidia Raid driver and two HP printer
drivers. The Microsoft programs are Visual Source Safe and Visual Studio
2005 Premere Partner Edition. Windows Live OneCare for servers is recently
installed.

It would have been easier for you if you were to have copied/pasted the
Event entry, which provides us more info.
Anyway, from what I may be seeing, since the machine is fully up to date,
IPSec may be conflicting with DNS. Or it could be another UDP reliant
service. Read the following to understand what may be happening, especially
956188 and the TechNet Blog.

DNS needs to be restarted
Hi Ace, I have a different issue regarding DNS Server service on Windows 2008.
We sometimes can't access some websites but after restarting the DNS Server on services.msc, all sites will be accessible. I do not know where to start troubleshooting as no event logs are generated everytime this happens. It also doesn't have a pattern like time, applications running, etc..
Any idea what's causing this?
thanks in advance

Hello Ryan,
Please post an unedited ipconfig /all from the server, sounds that there
is a not optimal configuration.

Hi Ryan,
Please post the info Meinolf asked for. In addition, let us know what
Forwarders you've configured, if any, as well as if a PPPoE connection is on
the server.

Re: Server 2008 DNS Stops
Sorry to bump a old thread but i too have the same issue as ryan. Wondering if anyone knows how to cure the problem?
