Are you saying that the TCP/IP DNS Client setting on the DC is pointing to 127.0.0.1. If so, that configuration is acceptable. Visit: anITKB.com, an IT Knowledge Base.

Hi, 127.0.0.1 is the loopback address. If the computer relies itself for DNS resolution, the loopback address is OK. The inclusion of its own IP address in the list of DNS servers improves performance and increases availability of DNS servers. Please type the following command and see if it responds the localhost: nslookup 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.1 Best Regards Dale Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

This is normal for an Active Directory Server with DNS installed. You configure all forwarders etc within the dns console hence why DNS is still working ok.

can change the dns back to 192.168.0.1Satya
