SUMMARY

Under the Domain Name System (DNS) Manager for Windows NT 4.0, there is no way to reset the statistics without stopping and restarting the DNS Server service.

MORE INFORMATION

The Windows NT 4.0 Resource Kit includes a tool (DNSSTAT) that will accomplish a reset of the statistics without stopping the DNS Server service.

This command-line utility provides a dump of DNS server statistics (queries and responses, database size, caching, memory consumption) on a computer running Microsoft DNS Server. 

   dnsstat {servername | IP address} [{-c | /c | -clear | /clear}]


Where servername gives a dump of all DNS server statistics on the server named servername.

IP address gives a dump of all DNS server statistics on the server with the IP address indicated.

-c or /c or -clear or /clear will reset clearable DNS statistics on the server indicated.
