Exchange '16 Network Adaptor Guid Issue after Reinstall

in flag

I am having issues with Receiving Emails on my Exchange 2016 Cu 22 Update 2 on Server 2012R2 On-site server. When I run a microsoft inbound SMTP Connectivity Test, I get the error of "Cannot Connect to Server, Connection Timeout"

With logs I narrowed it down to DNS issue. In the logs I get:

Event ID 205 & 16025 
No DNS servers could be retrieved from network adapter d9b621ec-077a-40e5-997a-752e73b7e2f5. Check if the computer is connected to a network and Get-NetworkConnectionInfo returns any results.

Get-NetworkConnectionInfo

[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-NetworkConnectionInfo


RunspaceId  : 5ebe2d5b-1a6a-4082-8d7f-ac4bea493805
Name        : Intel(R) 82574L Gigabit Network Connection
DnsServers  : {192.168.5.21}
IPAddresses : {192.168.5.25}
AdapterGuid : 24661cf0-0810-47c6-a3bc-0e8099591b34
MacAddress  : 00:0C:29:E0:E9:A3
Identity    : 24661cf0-0810-47c6-a3bc-0e8099591b34
IsValid     : True
ObjectState : Unchanged

If I look at the current Guids and DNS for the Internal and External they look fine:

[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-TransportService| fl *dns*


ExternalDNSAdapterEnabled : False
ExternalDNSAdapterGuid    : 24661cf0-0810-47c6-a3bc-0e8099591b34
ExternalDNSProtocolOption : Any
ExternalDNSServers        : {1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8}
InternalDNSAdapterEnabled : True
InternalDNSAdapterGuid    : 24661cf0-0810-47c6-a3bc-0e8099591b34
InternalDNSProtocolOption : Any
InternalDNSServers        : {192.168.5.21}
DnsLogMaxAge              : 7.00:00:00
DnsLogMaxDirectorySize    : 100 MB (104,857,600 bytes)
DnsLogMaxFileSize         : 10 MB (10,485,760 bytes)
DnsLogPath                :
DnsLogEnabled             : False

For whatever reason, even if I change the GUID to 000 meaning use any interface, using this command:

Get-TransportService -Identity SVR-EXCH01 | Set-TransportService -InternalDNSAdapterGUID 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 -ExternalDNSAdapterGUID 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000

And Reboot, I still get the same error in the eventlog with the same GUID. The guid changed recently because I was forced to reinstall the operating system. Anyway, anyone have any ideas of a manual, unorthodox approach to getting this guid changed and sticking?

Thanks For the Help. Cheers

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.
