| Description | SMTP could not connect to any DNS server. Either none are configured, or all are down. |
| Event Information | Connection to a DNS server has failed. This can be solved by setting a valid DNS server in the smtp service. Following information from newsgroup post may help: "In SMTP Server settings, configure it to point to local DNS server and in local DNS server configure ISP DNS servers address in forwarders list. This problem happen if the SMTP server is configured to ISP DNS." ------------------------- "Make sure your Network adapter only points to internal DNS servers. Do not put servers in the SMTP VS for DNS. Make sure forwarders are setup correctly on the internal DNS server." ------------------------- "1. We analyzed MPS reports taken from both domain controllers in the domain and the Exchange 2003 server. 2. All looked clean except for a couple obsolete domain A records for a domain controller that was no longer in the domain. 3. We deleted the obsolete domain A records for the domain controller that no longer existed. 4. We also removed DNS from a secondary DC (which the customer did not want it to be a DNS server any longer). After the above actions, the missing PTR records populated. The Event IDs 2012 and 2013 are no longer occurring in the System Log of the Exchange 2003 server." |
