Event ID 3152 — DNS Server Service Status
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.

Close the open file
Close the locked open file, and then try the operation again. To close the locked file, close any applications that might be using the file, and then try the operation again.

To perform this procedure, you must have membership in Administrators, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.
To restart the computer:
