Issue Details
In windows server 2008 R2, when I log on as the local or domain administrator everything works fine. When I login as a domain user who has been given local administrator rights I get the the following error when I try to ping any address.
"Unable to contact IP driver. General Failure"
Solution
I resolved my problem by running sysprep C:/windows/system32/sysprep (check the generate option).
Analyzation
It is a duplicate SID issue. This kind of issue usually happens when the system was a virutal machine that copied. Usually, taking it out of the domain, running sysprep, then rejoining the domain to resolve the issue.
