We are currently running our internal DNS on Windows 2003. Besides our
AD domain, we have another zone for a domain that is basically our
intranet connections. The problem we have is, every now and then,
someone will not be able to connect to one of the hosts/aliases on the
intranet zone. It won't resolve the hostname, so it is some sort of DNS
issue. I try to flush the DNS cache, but it doesn't seem to help. The
only way I've found to get around the issue is to do a repair on the
network connection. Does anyone have any ideas of why this may be
happening? It appears randomly on different computers, and it happens
for different hosts/aliases within the intranet zone (ie not the whole
zone at once, and not one particular host that it keeps happening to.)
The other question I have is, since, for now, I have to repair the
network connection, is there a way to do this as a user without
administrator privileges? It gets annoying to make a user log off and
then log on as an administrator just to do this. Is there some way to
do it with the runas command?
Thanx for any responses
