  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

DNS server changed with 10.4 upgrade

On v10.3 I was running MS DNS server, after I upgraded to 10.4 suddenly everything was moved to the BIND DNS server.
I have been trying to move it back but I get errors.

Are there more people with this problem?

attached the errors I get when I try to switch the DNS server back to MS DNS

first a warning about my IP ranges, than it errors out on the first domain.
MS DNS stops working and Plesk puts the service state in manual.......

This server was also a secondairy server for one other system.
Needles to say I am not amused????

Not sure if this will help in your case or not but after I did the second to last plesk upgrade. The upgrade completely broke all of my DNS. After getting ZERO assistance, not even a reply, and this was for a problem that was obviously there as they fixed it in the next update, or so they say. I manually uninstalled BIND and installed MSDNS.

Here is how to uninstall BIND:
4. BIND DNS Server

NOTE: Panel cannot work without a chosen DNS server.

msiexec /x {19E548B1-DBC2-4bfc-BA3D-715D83424BB8}
defpackagemng.exe --get --force
defpackagemng.exe --fix

Hope it helps, don't hold your breath waiting for these jokers.
 
Thanks for the tip.
I have created a ticket and asked them to fix it.
Don't want to mess around on a live site with 30 domains too much.

If I don't get a reaction I will follow your advice.

Just one question:
Did Plesk re-created all DNS zones automatically or did you do them all manual again?
