The DSA operation is unable to proceed because of a DNS

Is your domain name eef? if this is the case, you may have a DNS lookup
problem due to it being a single label domain.
An RFC compliant DNS domain name would be eef.local, eef.com, eef.int, etc.

You may also see numerous netlogon events in the event log stating that you
cannot register the connection in DNS

The following article explains what needs to be done to configure your
domain for a single label domain

Single-Label

If you do not have a Single Label Domain, the following article may be of
assistance:
