Answer 2

Hello, Thank you for posting in Q&A forum. Event 7050 is a normal event and we don't need to pay attention to. For further details please refer to Microsoft Official Documentation below: REF: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/ee783622(v=ws.10)?redirectedfrom=MSDN To further troubleshoot the DNS resolution issue, you can try below steps: 1.Check the DNS configuration on client side and make sure it's working properly. 2.When issue reproduces, please try to capture a network trace on both of client and server side, and do several hostname resolutions and check the traffic captured. 3.Check the traffic capture and narrow down the issue, so that we can determine it's caused from DNS client side, server side, forwarder sides or any other. Please feel free to let us know if there's any update, thanks. Best Regards, Hania Lian
