event id 1008

[candle23]

Hi All,

I am running Windows 2000 Advanced Server on two clustered Compaq ML530's. In the application log in event viewer I keep getting the same error message daily at the same time.
The message is:

Perflib - Event ID 1008

"The Open Procedure for service "DNS" in DLL "C:\\WINNT\system32\dnsperf.dll" failed. Performance data for this service will not be available. Status code returned is data DWORD 0." Has anyone seen this error message before? Anyone know how to stop it? Thanks in advance.

Uninstall DNS and reinstall it. This fixed the problem for my Compaq servers.

I am also experiencing the same problem on my Compaq DL380 running Win2k and Active Directory. This error message appears several times a minute.

When you uninstalled and then reinstalled the DNS service, was this done on a server running Windows 2000 server with Active Directory?

Thanks for the information

In a follow up to my message, I have found an article on Microsoft's site with the exact error message. Hopefully this will help. I have not tried it yet, but plan to later today.

Good Luck.

It was a W2K Server SP2 running Active Directory.

We were running into this problem on a LOT of our servers. I wrote a script that replaces the necessary files to solve the problem. It seems to work most of the time. If anyone wants it, I'd be happy to send it out.
