hi

i donno whether this will help u or not

go to services.msc inside run dialog box and check whether the dns related services are running are not...

if not start the service and run the installation again..

make sure all antivirus and firewall are temporarily disabled...

Your current situation is:

The DNS Server Services requires specific services to provide fuctionality to the DNS Server Service. If any of the dependant services can not be started, the DNS Server Service fails due to lack of functionality.

At LEAST one of these required services to start DNS server are:

-Removed [via nLite, XPLite or some form of Windows moding app]

-Disabled

-Manual [Can't start; This can be due to yet another service dependency issue]

-Automatic [Can't start; This can be due to yet another service dependency issue]

Note: If any services fail to start during system startup, the system will throw an error message at the logon screen stating stating that a service could not start. But this goes only for services that are told to start during system start up.

So it would look somthing like this:

└───REQUIRED SERVICE y

└───REQUIRED SERVICE x

└───DNS Server Service

I know there are a few of 'em that are required, but I cant seem to find any resources that explcitly says which services are required for the DNS Server Service to operate.

Im currently running into a very simmiler issue, but in my issue im attempting to build reduced weight 'Function oriented' Windows Server distros by removing unsecure and performence hindering services and OS components to increase uptime and effiecency.

I will be more then glad to lend a hand where i can, if anyone hears about the specific services required for DNS please feel inclined to drop a line.

If you want to find out what i found please PM i dont want to post any mis-imformation, but ill be more then happy to discuss beta ideas with anyone looking to learn.
