View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

On a Domain Name System (DNS) client computer that is running Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) or Windows Server 2008, the DNS Client service and the Network Location Awareness (NLA) service crash intermittently.

This problem occurs if the DNS client has the DNS dynamic update protocol registration option enabled when the client performs a DNS registration.

Notes
  • By default, the DNS dynamic update protocol registration option is enabled on DNS clients that run Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008.
  • This issue does not occur if the DNS client is running the RTM version of Windows Vista.
