[MAJOR ISSUE] b20257, b20262 DNS Server service keeps crashing 0x0374
- Dec 03, 2020I now have that build and it does seem to cure the DNS issues. Thanks"
Karl-WE THANKS for that comment. I have indeed written to Elden. NO answer, but it is Sunday morning! 🙂
This is a serious bug and it is one that was previously fixed. I kind of need this bug fixed - it breaks everything. And, why did this bug re-occur? Is this a very weird edge case that slipped through the cracks (it happens :0) )?
What is that joke: The problem is DNS, now what was the question?
My workaround is crude and not perfect:
While ($true) {Start-Service -Name DNS; Start-Sleep -Seconds 3}

doctordns i cannot tell the upgrade alone should have worked. in rare cases features and roles may get into inconsistent states as with yours. usually I see this in Server Manager or other RSAT tools, rarely for others. maybe some files were blocked and did not upgrade, or rather registry settings, correctly. I cannot tell. Setup should have had noticed that.
- doctordnsJan 23, 2021Brass ContributorThe suggestion to remove then reinstall DNS has worked. Updating to the latest server dod NOT automatically fix the problem. But on one DC, I removed the dns feature and tools. Rebittef, just to be on the safe side, treinstalled DNS. Since all my zones as AD integrated, they all came back intact and after an hour DNS is stable and working as expected. After 2 hours I repeated the remove and reinstall on DC2 and it, too, is now working.
Thanks for the suggestion!
The solution is DNS, what was the problem?? 🙂 - doctordnsJan 22, 2021Brass Contributor
I have found the item and uploaded the dump, but so far, Feedback Hub is a black hole with no responses to significant issues like this one! This forum seems much more responsive to major issues with the Insiders builds.
As for data protection, the dump is from a VM with no personal information, so not really worried. I have asked the moderator to remove the post to be on the safe side and have uploaded the dump there.
In the meantime, I have a significant issue with DNS.
- Karl-WEJan 22, 2021MVPHi for data protection purposes I would hesitate to upload memory dumps publicly and rather attach your issue and files to feedback hub and link it here
here is my item. Feel free to add here.

So as reported, I downloaded the new version after moving fsmo roles off of dC1 and upgraded. However, the issue persists.
As Mary requested, I set the local dumps (FWIW, the LocalDumps key did not exist, but created it and registry values are requested). 🙂
After the restart, and setting the local dumps I was successfully able to repo the crash and attach the dump file (zipped).

SO....
I have updated to the latest Version and the issue persists.
I am unable to find gflags.exe to set the flags. Clues as to where to find this utility?

Karl-WE Thanks for that.
I have downloaded the latest ISO and am upgrading one DC now (after moving OPs Master Roles to second DC). Let's see if that cures this issue. I would prefer NOT to have to uninstall DNS and ADDS if I can avoid it, but will do what I can to ensure a working Server.
I'll report shortly on what I find.
