This management pack works best when the DNS server is configured for full logging.
The DNS Server service responds to requests from DNS client computers for name resolution services. Domain Name System (DNS) is a protocol that enables a computer to obtain the numeric IP address of another computer by submitting the target computer's name to a DNS server. Problems with the DNS Server service can cause network performance to degrade or even prevent network computers from being able to locate each other.
The DNS server is not configured to log all events.
0 = No events logged.
1 = Only errors are logged.
2 = Errors and warnings are logged.
4 or 7 – All events are logged.
For this management pack to function optimally, it is recommended that the DNS server is configured to log all events.
The Event Logging Level is set on the Event Logging tab of the server properties dialog box in the DNS Administration Console.
