Check the dhcp, to make sure the DNS is authorized, sometimes for strange reasons the dns server becomes un authorised

Thank you for the suggestion. &nbsp;I did have to update the credentials for dynamic DNS update by DHCP, but, unfortunately, the DNS service still won't start.

That was it. &nbsp;I don't know who had made the change on this server, but once I switched it back to local system account, DNS started right up. &nbsp;Thank you!

I have a Win 2008 R2 domain controller running DNS. &nbsp;The DNS service stopped running yesterday and will no longer start. &nbsp;The error is 1297: &quot;A privilege that the service requires to function properly does not exist in the service account configuration.&quot; &nbsp;The DNS service is logging on as the domain administrator account. &nbsp;I'm a bit concerned about the root causes of all of this unpleasantness but primarily would like to know what privileges are missing which would allow the DNS service to start properly.
