I want promote my new Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard to domain controller in existing domain (1x DC Windows Server 2008 Standard). When I run "Active Directory Domain ServiceConfiguration Wizard", I get error: Verification of replica failed. The domain DNS name "miniprof.invalid" has an invalid format.
My domain name is "miniprof.invalid" (Yes, this is correct).
