C.

The first thing that should be done in order to begin reinstalling TCP/IP on the server is to uninstall TCP/IP. Therefore, the correct answer is D.

TCP/IP is a suite of communication protocols used to interconnect network devices on the Internet. If there are problems with TCP/IP on a server, such as network connectivity issues, reinstallation may be required.

Before reinstalling TCP/IP, it is essential to remove the existing installation of TCP/IP from the server. This will ensure that any potential conflicts or errors with the existing installation are eliminated. Once the existing installation is removed, the server can be rebooted to ensure that all settings are cleared from memory.

After the reboot, the TCP/IP stack can be reinstalled on the server. This process may involve downloading the necessary files from a vendor's website or using installation media that came with the server.

It is not necessary to configure netsh settings or notify users before reinstalling TCP/IP. These steps can be taken after the reinstallation is complete and the server is back online. Restarting the server is also not necessary until after TCP/IP has been uninstalled.
