  • Switch BIND DNS Server 9.4.2-P1 to Microsoft DNS – Plesk

    Posted on May 18th, 2009 Admin 2 comments

    Recently we had an issue with Plesk Windows 08 running Bind as DNS service. The problem appears to be failed DNS service every 5 /10 mins on the server thus causing downtime.  With no clue in the event viewer and after doing a lot of research we decided to switch the DNS to microsoft DNS server to avoid this issue happening again. Here are the steps to switch the DNS.

    Login into Plesk Panel as admin user.

    Plesk >> Server >> Components Management >> (Click on the link “DNS Server”) >> (Select the ‘Microsoft DNS Server’ and click ‘Ok’).

    The switching will be done automatically and the Plesk will create the necessary files almost instantaneously. So there won’t be any associated down time.

    The above process automatically disables Plesk Bind from services and enabled Microsoft DNS server. However you can restart the DNS service from plesk and check.
