Windows Server 2016 is not pingable while it can ping other devices and have DNS problems
On DC1 remove the router address listed for DNS and replace with 172.29.114.52, then do ipconfig /flushdns, ipconfig /registerdns, and reboot.
The ipconfig on "problemclient" is Ok.
The two ipconfig files you put up both have the same hostname? Which would be problematic.
For some reason root hints are IPv6 only. (would have expected IPv4)
As a work around you can add your ISP or other public DNS as forwarders. (remove router address here as well)
Hello Dave,
I don't have a domain firewall profile configrued yet. So I assume it use a default firewall profile?
On the secondary Windows Server (WS) I use the DHCP from the primary WS. This works good and the DHCP provide the IP of my primary WS which provides a DNS Service which is 172.29.114.52. On a Windows 7 Client this works well, only the WS2016 wont work with this settings :/

It doesn't work quite like that. When NLA starts to detect the network location, the machine will contact the domain controller via port 389. If this detection successful, it will get the domain firewall profile (allowing for correct ports and IPv4 ICMP ping) and we cannot change the network location profile.
If the domain was not found or process failed, NLA will let you to determine which firewall profile will be used, private or public. Beyond this your options are to enable or disable each profile.
Or if you just wanted to allow ICMP then you can; Windows Firewall\Inbound Rules then find ICMPv4-In, right-click on it and Enable
Hello Dave,
here is the link from the requested files: https://1drv.ms/f/s!AoBwQgegx9tg1RTrbkvb5hjlcCLQAs you can see, the DNS test failed for some reasons.
Both, the DC as well as the 2nd server have a static IP. Both devices are in the same domain, ABPROJ-HYRULE is the DC, ABPORJ-WDS-WSUS is the server which is not pingable but can ping other devices. It also can not access the Internet.
Oh, I was not able to change the language of the 2nd server because I was not able to download the english languagepack. Hopefully its not a big problem.
