No. It states you are not using Dynamic DNS (required by AD).

First guess is that you left this DC's NIC->IP Properties pointing
to a non-Dynamic, possibly EXTERNAL, DNS server.

Internal (domain) computers must be set to use STRICTLY
the INTERNAL DNS Server (set) which can resolve the DCs
and other internal resources, on all interfaces. The internal
DNS set supporting AD must offer the DYNAMIC updates to
the zone.
