Hi dwilli,
Did you managed to get this fix ? I had the same problem with the domain controller in the DR tests.
The operating system was Windows 2008 R2. After restoring the machine from a storage snapshot or after a clone we ran into this problem.
I my case this had to do with 2 things : First the vmxnet3 nic triggers different behavior in Windows after cloning/restoring what will result in a new nic and the
lose of ip settings from this nic, not a big issue but inconvenient and causes slow booting etc.
The second thing was that System Center Endpoint protection somehow blocked access to the network driver. Removing System Center Endpoint protection
solved this problem of "unable to access the IP driver." i can image the filter driver for network access is also in other anti-virus programs, this may cause
the same problems.
I didn't find any solution on the internet for this problem, other then the duplicate SID, witch obviously was not the case.
Kindest regards,
Marco
