Hello,
You need to enter your product key into the system? You installed with
Volume license media which uses a generic key to complete setup but which
cannot activate, now you need to setup a KMS server to actvate against.
When it looks for the KMS server and cannot locate one it generates the DNS
error. You can also request a MAK volume key and change your product key
so that it can activate.
Here are a couple of links with more information:

Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
