• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

DNS Server error ?

Can any one tell me what this means. My event viewer keeps throwing this out at me but my DNS server works fine.

The DNS server machine currently has no DNS domain name. Its DNS name is a single label hostname with no domain (example: "host" rather than "host.microsoft.com").

You might have forgotten to configure a primary DNS domain for the server computer. For more information, see either "DNS server log reference" or "To configure the primary DNS suffix for a client computer" in the online Help.

While the DNS server has only a single label name, all zones created will have default records (SOA and NS) created using only this single label name for the server's hostname. This can lead to incorrect and failed referrals when clients and other DNS servers use these records to locate this server by name.

To correct this problem:
1) open Control Panel
2) open System applet
3) select Computer Name tab
4) click the "Change" button and join the computer to a domain or workgroup; this name will be used as your DNS domain name
5) reboot to initialize with new domain name

After reboot, the DNS server will attempt to fix up default records, substituting new DNS name of this server, for old single label name. However, you should review to make sure zone's SOA and NS records now properly use correct domain name of this server.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

Please also note my DNS servers are not part of a Domain just a workgroup. Any help would be awesome.
 
This means that your computer does not have a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). It has a host name (we'll call it 'hard') but no domain such as 'forum.com'. In this case the FQDN would be 'hard.forum.com', whereas the server is right now set up as only 'hard'. It's really not a big deal unless you want to stop getting these messages. In that case, on the DNS machine, open you 'System Properties' and go to the 'Computer Name' tab. Click 'Change...' and make it a part of the domain you have set up (if any). It might ask you about a user name and password; you can try entering your servers' admin pw but that might not work; I haven't exactly done it myself. Hope this helps
 
so i cant have it on a workgroup and this message stop showing up at the same time
Click to expand...

Make it part of a domain as suggested or append a dns suffix.
