Event 1014: Name resolution for the name xyz.database.windows.net timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.

Question

Hello,

I'm connecting to an Azure SQL database using ASP.NET on W2008R2.

In the Event Log I'm getting "Name resolution for the name xyz.database.windows.net timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded."  frequently.

It does not seem to affect connectivity, but I'm curious if I can fix this by using a specific DNS server from Microsoft. Is anybody else seeing these events?

Thanks.

Hi Sebastian Brand,

As BrentDaCodeMonkey suggested in this thread, you may have a try to identity whether this issue is related to network security or not.

For your reference, please pay attention to blog elaborated on this type of issue: DNS = Do Not Search?
