Assuming this is a lone single Domain Controller, point the machine's DNS
setting to itself at 127.0.0.1. Do not put any ISP's DNS servers in it
anywhere. Within your DNS's configuration add the ISP's DNS to the
Forwarder's List, but *not* in any network settings on the nics.
If there is more than one nic, make sure the main LAN nic is at the top of
the priority list.
Also watch for failed services and related errors in the event logs. You
often won't get fully through bootup until "problem" services have timed out
and stop trying whatever they were trying.
