Windows Server 2012 R2 - network unresponsive until reboot

in flag

since 29th of April every day past midnight my Windows Server 2012 R2 networking hangs - AD isn't working, DNS isn't working, print server isn't working and so other services. I have to reboot server to retain functionality.

When I look from midnight into Event Logs, this Warning appears first:

TCP/IP failed to establish an outgoing connection because the selected local endpoint was recently used to connect to the same remote endpoint. This error typically occurs when outgoing connections are opened and closed at a high rate, causing all available local ports to be used and forcing TCP/IP to reuse a local port for an outgoing connection. To minimize the risk of data corruption, the TCP/IP standard requires a minimum time period to elapse between successive connections from a given local endpoint to a given remote endpoint.

10 minutes after Error:

The processing of Group Policy failed because of lack of network connectivity to a domain controller. This may be a transient condition. A success message would be generated once the machine gets connected to the domain controller and Group Policy has successfully processed. If you do not see a success message for several hours, then contact your administrator.

DNS server is full of these Errors:

Event 4015 - The description for Event ID ( 4015 ) in Source ( Microsoft-Windows-DNS-Server-Service ) cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer, or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer, or contact the component manufacturer for a newer version.

When server is in hanged state, only 20% RAM is occupied and CPU is 1-5% - nothing suspicious.

Does anyone else experienced this? How to diagnose and solve this problem?

`This error typically occurs when outgoing connections are opened and closed at a high rate`. Are connections occurring at a high rate? If so, that's the problem.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
