Tried to configure and deploy windows server 2012 R2 essential many times. It's the most simple scenario -- PDC in first domain. However, every time it stuck at around 67% and gave me an error about not able to continue. The group policy list is empty, DNS could not replicate, everything seems to point to no domain controller found, which is weird, since it should be PDC itself.
nslookup results seem to be fine on itself. But of course I couldn't create a reverse zone.
Please Help!
