RE: [Declude.JunkMail] 2003 Server DNS & Declude

[Kyle Fisher]

I just applied the hot fix and we will see if it works.  I won’t know until about 8:30am CST when the email load really hits.    Just to let you all know that I setup 3 different DNS servers with 2003 and they all had the same memory leak.  I setup one NT4.0 and it worked fine.  So in my case any 2003 DNS server had the memory leak.  I only have about 60,000 messages a day and it should have handled it fine, but due to Microsoft’s great programming it didn’t.    I am learning Linux and BIND and will soon be switching, but I want to know it like the back of my hand before I go into production.  If the hot fix works this will most likely be the reason why a good bit of spam was still getting through.   I will keep you all updated.   Kyle   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Goran Jovanovic Sent: Friday, November 19, 2004 12:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] 2003 Server DNS & Declude   Hi,   Phone   MS Tech Adv (WinNT) 800-936-4900   Tell them the KB article number and tell them to e-mail you the link. You will not be charged. One of two things will happen.   Most probably you will spend a bunch of time answering questions and then they will e-mail you the link.   Sometime the dispatch people do not have access to the hotfix and they will put you through to tech support.   In both cases you will get an SRX number etc.   Now if you are a bit persistent and you say that you want to talk to the tech before you apply the hotfix you can “usually” be put through to a tech support person and they will discuss the patch with you and what it may or may not do. You can review your symptoms with them and query them if this is really going to fix it or not. The techs are quite willing to talk to you once you get to them. You cannot branch out and try to cover some other topic.   Good Luck            Goran Jovanovic      The LAN Shoppe     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kyle Fisher Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2004 11:38 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] 2003 Server DNS & Declude   Ok thanks.  I will try and find one of the millions of phone numbers to contact them and get the fix.   Kyle   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Darrell ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2004 10:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] 2003 Server DNS & Declude   You will be able to get this hotfix for free.  They do not charge for issues like this.

DNS and Decludes queries.  It is not Declude but actually MS DNS.  I finally found two articles from Microsoft saying it is a memory leak do to excessive queries and to contact them for the hot fix, but there is nowhere to download it without contacting MS.  I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and maybe you already have the hot fix.  There is actually two.  If I do have to contact MS do you have to pay for the hot fix even though it is their problem?   I probably will be switching to BIND but I have to learn it first and I need a quick fix.  Right now I have a batch file restarting the DNS Service every hour.   "Server Responsiveness Degrades and Queries Time Out When You Run the DNS Server Service" http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=830381   "DNS Intermittently Stops Resolving Some Host Names" http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=830905   Thanks Kyle
