I recently built a customized Windows Server 2008 R2 installation using RT Server Customizer.
However, after I installed the OS, I noticed that I could no longer access any of the devices on my network. There were no specific error messages when running the Network Troubleshooter wizard, therefore, I was left to attempt several other things to try and determine the root cause of the problem.
Fortunately, I attempted to run the following at the command line: ipconfig /flushdns
Once I ran this command, I received the following error message: Could not flush the DNS Resolver Cache: Function failed during execution.
After doing a quick Google search for this error message, I found the following Microsoft support article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/919746
This states that you have to ensure that the DNS Client service has been enabled and started on the server. I looked in my Services Control Panel and sure enough, the DNS Client service had been disabled!
