Event ID 3153 — DNS Server Service Status

  • Article

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

The DNS Server service responds to requests from DNS client computers for name resolution services. Domain Name System (DNS) is a protocol that enables a computer to obtain the numeric IP address of another computer by submitting the target computer's name to a DNS server. Problems with the DNS Server service can cause network performance to degrade or even prevent network computers from being able to locate each other.

Resolve

Free disk space

Free up some space on the system drive (by removing unneeded files, for example), and then retry the operation that failed.
