I used it earlier at another team build site and it seemed to work fine. You just need to be connected to the Internet.
We got the same DNS error. The short answer is that we kept at the above fix (the KOP one) and it worked after a couple of tries. The long version is below:

It didn't work for us. We got the hex error code 0x8007267c and an error regarding DNS. The 0x8007267c got us to a Microsoft support page that didn't help, we just graduated to error code 0xc004f050. Eventually we called Microsoft Licensing support http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/e...n-centers.aspx. They told us that we needed to talk tech support, who wasn't there at that hour. It sounds like they could have resolved the problem had we called back when whoever was there.
