The DNS service is required for DNS Server operation.
A service can stop for many reasons, including:
The service was stopped by an Administrator.
The service encountered an exception that stopped the service.
The service was improperly configured, which prevented it from starting.
The service was prevented from starting because the user account assigned to the service could not be authenticated.
If the service is stopped, you can attempt to restart it
The status of the service can be viewed with the Services snap-in which can be accessed through the Computer Management console task
