Are you only using your internal DNS (no ISPs)? If so, that can cause this
among other errors.

Also, is your AD DNS domain name a single label name? Eg. "DOMAIN" rather
than the required "domain.com".

You are not either a Schema Admin or an Enterprise Admin or both.

Add yourself to those groups, then try again. If you still get errors,
please post the EXACT error message(s)
