When I try to start bind service the following is displayed
TCPIP&

Stop TCP/IP services entirely, and use the configuration menu tool TCPIP$CONFIG to enable and start the BIND server.

The OpenVMS Wizard generally (and strongly) recommends against use of the TCPIP utility ENABLE and DISABLE SERVICE commands, in favor of using the provided TCPIP$*STARTUP and TCPIP$*SHUTDOWN procedures. ENABLE SERVICE and DISABLE SERVICE are inviting, but can unfortunately leave the associated component process(s) in an indeterminate state.

Do also ensure that your OpenVMS and TCP/IP Services ECOs are all current, as well.
