DNS_ERROR_NO_DNS_SERVERS
No DNS servers configured for local system.
DNS_ERROR_NO_DNS_SERVERS is Windows status 9852 (0x0000267C) associated with local resolver configuration with no DNS server addresses.
Likely impact: Applications may report unrelated connection failures until resolver configuration is restored.
Typical causes
- DHCP did not supply DNS servers.
- static adapter configuration is incomplete.
- VPN or policy removed resolver addresses.
- the active network profile uses the wrong interface.
Troubleshooting steps
- Verify that at least one appropriate DNS server is configured and reachable for the active interface.
- Collect Get-DnsClientServerAddress output and active interface and route.
- Correlate DHCP lease or static settings with the DNS Server event log, DNS analytical logging when enabled, packet capture, zone metadata, server configuration, and the exact DNS API request.
Useful evidence
- Collect VPN and NRPT policy.
- Collect reachability to proposed DNS servers.
Recovery and retry
Configure valid DNS servers for the active network path and verify queries against them before retrying the dependent operation.

DNS_ERROR_NO_TCPIP means the protocol stack is unavailable; this code means the stack exists without resolver servers
Example
A VPN connection replaces adapter settings with an empty DNS list. Restoring the intended tunnel DNS servers makes domain lookups succeed.
