  1. Hosts file is being pounded by Microsoft Teams


    Started looking into an issue with a user who can see our application server and then cannot.


    So ping servername works and does application


    when application stops working a ping of the server reveals dns issues. Didn't realize dns can change frequently for a server and no other user is experiencing this issue. Checked the hosts file to make sure there were not any local settings. There are not - everything is a comment and appears as the default hosts file. In checking though, I noticed the modified date of the hosts file was updating every minute.


    Ran ProcessMonitor. Can see where Microsoft Teams is attempting to CreateFile, QueryNetwork, CloseFile many times every second.


    Tried to make the hosts file read only for "System" but was denied access to the setting.

    :)

  2. Hosts file editing

    I have to jump in and say I use, and have used the host file for years. It's an easy way to take stress off of old name servers. I don't add everything, but major shares I do add to the host file. I've used the host file for some tunneling as well. I try to optimize my network as much as possible and I have a solid network. But Easy Rhino is right as well, you'll want to have everything he suggested as well. *Toast :toast:
