Event ID 11001 — DNS Client Service Status

Applies To: Windows Server 2008 R2

Domain Name System (DNS) is a protocol that makes it possible for a computer to obtain the numeric IP address of another computer by submitting the target computer's name to a DNS server computer. The DNS Client service sends requests for name resolution services to DNS servers. Problems with the DNS Client service can prevent a network computer from locating other network computers.
