Hello,
Recently Windows Server 2003 has been crashing 1X/day. In the Event Viewers log, it gives me the following error message in the DNS Event Viewer: ID 4015 , 4004 and 4000. (See below)Then no one has access to the server because active directory and the dns server aren't functioning. However, when I reboot, the system works fine for about a day, then it crashes again. I HAVE BEEN GOING CRAZY TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION. I am trying to learn this networking on the fly. Can someone please help ASAP? Thanks
