Would you post the following?
ipconfig /all
AD domain name from ADUC
List of forward lookup zones in DNS

I will be comparing the Primary DNS suffix from the ipconfig /all with the
AD domain name and the forward lookup zone name. These three must match
exactly and should not be a single-label name. I will also be verifying that
the local DNS server is only used in the ipconfig /all and that there are no
external DNS servers listed.
