How many network cards are in the domain controller?
   If there are more than one and they are not teamed disable all so that
there is only 1 active nic on the machine.

In the tcp/ip properties for the nic that is active, it should be pointing
to itself for DNS.

In DNS manager right click on the zone, and look at "Allow Dynamic Updates"
Make sure it is set to Yes
