As per: http://lindsaar.net/2009/1/5/windows-ipconfig-does-not-show-anything
You can do the following at a CMD prompt to reset the network configurations:
C:\> netsh winsock reset catalog
C:\> netsh int ip reset reset.log
The first line resets all the WINSOCK entries to their defaults, the second line resets all the TCP/IP entries to their defaults.
The first one will ask you to reboot, don’t. Do both commands and then reboot your system.
Recently moved my root enterprise CA from Server 2008 to Server 2012 and was no longer able to delete pending request or expired certificates with using the -deleterow parameter. The error I was getting:
C:\>certutil -v -deleterow 08/05/2013 Request
CertUtil: -deleterow command FAILED: 0x80070057 (WIN32: 87)
CertUtil: The parameter is incorrect.
After 12 hours of pulling my hair out and verifying ever aspect of the migration I did, it turned out (although not mentioned at all in the certutil command help, e.g. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732443.aspx#BKMK_deleterow) I had to spell the month rather than use numbers:
C:\>certutil -deleterow Aug/05/2013 Request
Rows deleted: 34
CertUtil: -deleterow command completed successfully.
Muppets at MS, why oh why do you do this to us !?!?!?
