WHS 2011 Problem configuring web access

FGM 61

Hi,

Because my server's HDD was starting to show problems I decided to reinstall WHS 2011 on the same machine replacing the HDD by a SSD. I kept the server's name unchanged and of course the environnement (IA provider, router, etc...) was unchanged as well.
Everything went OK except that I couldn't configure the web access ( I have a XX.homeserver.com adress) : I kept receiving the message that the process failed and that I should try again later . As I still had the "old" HDD I added manually in the registry the Software/Microsoft/WindowsServer/DomainManager key as it was in the HDD .
Things are slightly better as the domain name now appears in the dashboard but when I try to "repair" the web access I get a message saying that it was impossible to update the dynamic DNS info (approx translation as I use the French version of WHS 2011).
Is there another registry key that I should change ? Any idea for fixing this problem ?

Many thx in advance to whoever will try to help me.

Hi
Could we try to manually clean the local DNS cache on host and wait to see if this feature will work ?

This article discussed about DNS configuration about WHS 2011.

Thanks Karlie for your suggestion .
Unfortunately things remain unchanged after having cleared the DNS cache .
I keep receiving the message saying that dynamic DNS info couldn't get updated .
I wonder whether there is a log file which details the step which goes wrong when I try to repair the web access ?
Thx in anycase
