SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to install the Microsoft Domain Name Service (DNS) Server, you receive the following error:

No more endpoints available through the endpoint mapper.



CAUSE
This is caused by a previous installation of DNS on the computer. DNS attempts to use previous settings contained in the %SystemRoot%\WinNT\System32\DNS directory.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, perform the following steps:
 * 1) Stop the Microsoft DNS service using the Control Panel Services tool.
 * 2) Backup any zone files from the %SystemRoot%\WinNT\System32\DNS directory that you need to keep.
 * 3) Remove the Microsoft DNS Server using the Control Panel Network tool and restart when prompted.
 * 4) Delete the files in the WinNT\System32\DNS subdirectory.
 * 5) Install the Microsoft DNS Server service using the Control Panel Network tool.
