Event ID: 7023 - The DNS Server - Not enough storage - Win2003 SBS

August 28, 2008 on 1:38 pm | In Uncategorized |

We’ve been hearing reports that 951748 and 951746 Microsoft Security Updates are causing some problems with the DNS service on Windows 2003 SBS SP1 (possibly SP2). The event ID seen is:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7023
Date: 7/18/2008
Time: 3:12:11 PM
User: N/A
Computer: Serverxyz
Description:
The DNS Server service terminated with the following error:
Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.

The symptom is that the DNS service will no longer start.

In order to repair this situation, uninstall the two MS security updates (in Add\Remove programs): 951748 and 951746 Then reboot the server and the DNS service will function once again.
