That's a good Avenue to explore I will see if I can find any differences

Subject: Re: Strange DIG behavior on Windows 10:

To be honest, I don't have a lot of experience running dig on Windows, but I 
assume it would use the same resolvers as everything else, in which case 
they're either statically defined (typically through Control Panel) or assigned 
via DHCP.

One thing to consider, though: on Windows, resolvers tend to be assigned 
*per-interface*. It's possible that you have some interface that has assigned 
resolvers that you can't reach (due to firewall rules, routing issues, etc.). 
The resolvers that get chosen may then be dependent on the binding order of the 
interfaces, or other factors. For that matter, you might be trying to use IPv6 
resolvers, even though IPv6 may not be routable from your LAN. Check out 
ipconfig /all.

                                                                              -

I have two windows 10 pro boxes, both with Bind 9.12.3 tools installed.  On one 
machine, entering “dig” by itself gives me back the root server list as 
expected.  On the other machine, I get an error that says no name servers could 
be contacted.

However, if I specify the local name server on that second machine by entering 
dig 
@192.168.1.250<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2F192.168.1.250&data=02%7C01%7C%7C5791d242f3c348dc778908d639393a76%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636759315284857689&sdata=uBRptuFKaxPxt9W5EBasx0iVcNuzXgBoV6K9s14Y2ZY%3D&reserved=0>,
 I get the root server list.

My logic says that since I can talk to the recursive server, I don’t have a 
firewall issue.  Instead, BIND is not finding the list of name servers (by 
reading the registry)?   I tried putting in a resolv.conf file in 
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc with contents:

nameserver 192.168.1.250
nameserver 192.168.1.251
nameserver 8.8.8.8

And that made no difference.  Running the command prompt as an administrator 
makes no difference.   At this point I’m stumped and welcome any suggestions.
