SCOM 2007 - DNS MP external resolution monitor problem
Hello,
As several people who imported the latest DNS Management Packs you received many alerts regarding a problem with external resolution.
I found several blogs relating solutions was to override the host parameter of the monitor from www.microsoft.com to microsoft.com or to override the querytype parameter.
I think I found another part of the problem for people using non-US OS.
When I test the nslookup command on a french DC it returns successfully. So I checked the script used by SCOM NslookupAllTests.js and I figured out it was checking if the result of the command was matching some regular expressions:
but the string return in my case is in french:
So as the script doesn't find Non-Authoritative it returns a critical state for the monitor. My workaround for non-US environments (sorry): Disable the monitor.
