I did not succeed to find them from the Server Manager application. Improve this question. BowPark BowPark 1 1 silver badge 4 4 bronze badges. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Improve this answer. The only additional monitoring I have been able to find for DNS are the debugging settings and unfortunately I don't think that will work long term.

What are my other options? Friday, February 12, AM. Hello, Thank you for your post here. I have DNS configured to log "All events". I'm working on the second piece now but I haven't found the commandline utility I need yet. This should be easy enough for SCOM to pickup since its triggering an entry in the event log. Just to make sure, doing this will also capture the originating IP? Thanks Miles! Friday, February 12, PM. Miles is suggesting that you use Windows Auditing enabled, and set the object access at the DNS server object.

I am not sure that will work, but you can try and post your results. The information you are looking for will be found if you enable degub logging. The information is written to a text file. It does place overhead on the server. It captures source IP. As you indicated, it is not a nice, complete solution. If you used debugging, you would have to have another process that picks up the text file daily and extracts information and stores it in a db or something to that effect.
