The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Apply computer settings after changing DNS IP

Asked by smith9069 in Windows Networking, Domain Name Service (DNS), TCP/IP

Tags: computer, settings, apply, dns, after

We added two windows 2008 server to windows 2000 domain as domain controllers with DNS servers. All LAN servers and client use the 2008 DNS without any issues. The 2008 DNS doesn't have any errors logged in the Event Viewer.

The only problem we are facing is the Exchange front-end server running OWA. The server is located in our DMZ and there is a Cisco firewall. This server used to use 2000 DC DNS servers which are 10.0.0.29 and 10.0.0.19. When we changed the DNS point to the 2008 DNS servers which are 10.0.0.17 and 10.0.0.18, it asked to reboot (this is only server asks to reboot and all other servers don't ask reboot when changing the DNS server). Since this is production server, we schedule to reboot it next morning. When I logon next day, the logon process took long time. After logon, I can ping the 2008 DNS server and run port query to check domain and trust port. They look good.

This morning, my technician rebooted it again. This time, we can't logon any more. It stays "Apply Computer Settings" for ever. Then we did warm reboot, and run safe mode with network. I can access the both 2000 and 2008 DC and DNS without any problems and other computer can remote access it. We also try to re-set the DNS back to the original 2000 DNS. That doesn't make any difference. The server is running, we access the OWA and receive the email. I can access the server's Computer Manager from other computer too. The Event Viewer doesn't show ant related errors. Also we can't access it using remote desktop. The server just stay "Apply Computer settings".

We don't have APC Agent service. Any suggestions?
