BIND Question

[Stefan Puiu]

Oops, forgot to reply to the list too. Here's my stab at an answer:

How did you install BIND? The installer should've taken care of this.

You need to look in the Windows registry (using, say, regedit), under:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application\named. 


You should have a string value there by the name "EventMessageFile" with 
the contents being the path to bindevt.dll, the DLL where the BIND 
message information (that the EventLog needs) is stored. On my system 
it's "c:\WINNT\system32\bindevt.dll", you might want to check yours and 
set the path respectively.
