From: yaro137 on 5 Jan 2010 09:09
I'm getting this error every couple of seconds:

The DNS server has encountered a critical error from the Active
Directory. Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly.
The extended error debug information (which may be empty) is
"000020EF: SvcErr: DSID-02050344, problem 5012 (DIR_ERROR), data
-1014". The event data contains the error.

It's on SBS 2003 SP2. Googling doesn't give much help here. Any
thoughts on that?

As Larry asked, please post the EventID# and SourceName and run the SBSBPA.

Also, please post an unedited ipconfig /all to help eliminate basic
configuration issues.

BPA discovered a couple of issues although none of them seems to be
related to DNS but surely worth testing.
The weird thing is it says the the SP1 has not installed successfully
even though the server is on SP2. I wonder if
after installing SP2 there is any point in reinstalling SP1?

The EventID is 4015, Source :DNS,

Sometimes getting down to the root of a 4015/DNS can be difficult, but
it points to not being able to contact AD for zone data (since it is
stored in AD). If this wasn't an SBS with a multihomed DC(a DC with
multiple NICs, IPs and/or RRAS installed), I would say to disable the
additional NIC, and get a firewall/router to perform the tasks (VPN,
routing, etc), which is guaranteed to elminate the 4015s. Matter of
fact, you will possibly hear other responses to single-home the SBS to
avoid associated errors that are caused by multihoming.
