Summary

The DNS server configuration consists of the settings that determine how the DNS server will function on a network and how those settings are stored and retrieved when they are needed.

Causes

Resolutions

Configure forwarders

The DNS Server service cannot access a DNS server that has been designated to act as a forwarder. You must correct the forwarder's configuration for this server.

To perform this procedure, you must have membership in Administrators, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.

To correct the list of forwarders that is used by the DNS server:

1.On the DNS server, start Server Manager. To start Server Manager, click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Server Manager.

2.In the console tree, expand Roles, expand DNS Server, and then expand DNS.

3.Right-click the DNS server, and then click Properties.

4.On the Forwarders tab, click Edit.

5.To remove an invalid server, click the server, and then click Delete.

6.To add a server, click the list, type the DNS name or IP address of the server, and then click the list again.
