Administrator no longer has permission to update DNS

[mxg]

I had my Windows Storage Server 2012 configured and working fine. There was then a power outage. I can now no longer access the server remotely because I believe the DNS configuration is messed up. However, when I go under Network Connections and try to edit the connection to update the DNS connections, the 'Properties' button is now grayed out and I can not access it. I am logged in as the Administrator so I should have permission like I did before. Is there a way to get the permissions back?

Here is what I am trying to do specifically:

Under 'Initial Configuration Tasks'

- Configure Networking

- I select my connection, then click on 'Change Settings of this Connection'

- In the pop-up window, the first item in the list 'Client for MS Networks' is highlighted and selected

Under this, the Install and Uninstall buttons are active but the Properties button is inactive. Before the power outage I was able to select Properties and input the DNS info.

 

I also noticed that I now have the error:

NtpClient was unable to set a manual peer to use as a time source because of DNS resolution error on 'time.windows.com0x9'

But I believe this is because of the DNS issue and once the DNS is set properly, this error will be resolved.

Please let me know if you have any ideas
