Windows Server 2008 DNS Server occasionally returns SERVFAIL

We've got a few customers at work, including ourselves, who use Windows Server 2008. But only one was experiencing this problem. A "good" (i.e. quick) workaround was simply clearing the DNS cache. However, it was obviously not a decent solution.After

Just tried this on my SBS 2008 box. Although it solved the problem with the .uk domain names, I found that the registry entry stopped me from creating new distribution groups in SBS 2008.

I have no idea why (this is all way above my head!) but once I removed the regisrty entry the Distribution Group Wizard then started working again as expected.
