Windows Server 2012
Hi,
I have a new 2012 server and 4 new Windows 8 Pro workstations in a new domain. Every day since we went live the network drops out locally and on the internet. I have the the following configuration:
Netgear DGN2200 ADSL router plugged into a Netgear Gigabyte switch.
The server and the 4 PC's plug into the switch.
Router: 192.168.5.1
Internet Port
MAC Address E0:46:9A:63:85:78
IP Address 149.135.2.241
Network Type PPPoA
IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.255
Gateway IP Address 165.228.7.1
Domain Name Server
203.50.2.71
139.130.4.4
2012 Server:
IP: 192.168.5.10
SUB: 255.255.255.0
GW: 192.168.5.1
DNS1: 192.168.5.1
DNS2: 192.168.5.10
I have given all the PC's static IP addresses with the following config: (with different IP's)
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.5.32(Preferred)
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.5.1
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.5.10
DNS 192.168.5.1
NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Enabled
I ran the BPA analyzer on the server and got these results:
CC-SERVER Error DNS: The DNS server 192.168.5.1 on Ethernet 2 must resolve Global Catalog resource records for the domain controller Configuration

CC-SERVER Error This domain controller must advertise as an LDAP server for the domain Configuration
CC-SERVER Error DHCP: The server database should be functional and free of errors. Operation
When I setup the server I just did the default settings.
Do I need to add stuff to DNS
The server keeps changing from Domain to Public
I have also turned DHCP off on the server.
If I restart the router, switch, server and workstations it comes right.
If I haven't set the server correctly up can anyone give me some pointers
Thanks

You should not use the gateway as a DNS server. it can't do AD integrated DNS.
If you have only one Domain controller it should be the DNS server for the other machines and for itself.

Hi!
Happy New year!
The possible source of problems is that the DNS server for the domain controller (DC) and computers should be the one running on the DC.
The config above appears to be using the DNS supplied by the router.
Set all the machines to use the DC as DNS, including the DC.
The DNS server on the DC should already know all teh info the errors are indicating are not available from the Router DNS.
Once this is working, you set up the DNS server on teh DC to forward DNS requests to the router DNS for addresses external to your network.
Cheers!

As has been said - the ONLY DNS server listed should be that of the Windows Server - any other configuration will cause internal name resolution to fail.
to set up forwarders see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754941.aspx
to set up forwarders see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754941.aspx
Start --> DNSMgmt.msc [CTRL + ENTER}
Click on SERVERNAME
Right click and Properties.
Forwarders tab.
Make sure "Use root hints if no forwarders are available" is checked.
Click EDIT button.
Enter the DNS server IP addresses there.
Click OK and OK.
We do this because the Root Hints cache bug has not been fixed since Server 2008.
Note the IPs are for our own ISP up here.

2012 Server:
IP: 192.168.5.10
SUB: 255.255.255.0
GW: 192.168.5.1
DNS1: 192.168.5.10
DNS2: EMPTY
On router point WAN DNS to 192.168.5.10
On PCs: DNS0: 192.168.5.10
On DC under DNS set Forwarders to your ISP DNS server(s).
DNS needs to be set up with a distinct set of Zones. The Internet zones (your external IPs) DNS servers have no clue about your internal setup.
For the internal setup to know about the Internet DNS setup your DC(s) need to be the primary source for all DNS related inquiries on the network.
