"Server 2012" Server Name in "DNS Manager" changed by itself and now differs from server name.

Hello All.

I have a very interesting and disturbing issue. A client of ours got back from holiday and nothing on the server wanted to work. It even said that the "Administrator" account had been disabled. Eventually we could log in, but I noticed half the services didn't start, we can't open Active Directory etc.

When looking in on the DNS I saw that for some unexplained reason, the Name of the DNS Server in "DNS Manager" is different from the server's actual name. If I ping that name, it resolves to the server's correct IP address, but obviously nothing works.

Is there a way to correct this issue without restoring the entire server from backup?
