I have spent 10+ hours trying to find a resolution and I can't do it anymore. I am pulling my hair out trying to troubleshoot this issue more. I have seen similar problems posted and tried several ways to resolve my issue but to no avail...
I have a single Server 2003 R2 with several clients. After a vendor installed ACT on my server I have had DNS Issues. I cannot get the server to resolve itself with DNS and therefore clients were having issues using everything on the network. (I entered manual entries within clients' hosts files to temporarily patch the situation).
I have uninstalled & reinstalled DHCP & DNS, manually recreated the DNS Zones, Netdiag /fix, Edited and reconfigured the cache.dns file, manually entered root hints.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here are the dcdiag results:
