An attempt to resolve the DNS name of a domain controller in the domain being joined has failed DNS ERROR

Hello,

Ive searched the web forever on this and can not figure out what is wrong. and I keep getting this error and can not join the domain.

The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "TTMS-MI.local":

An attempt to resolve the DNS name of a domain controller in the domain being joined has failed. Please verify this client is configured to reach a DNS server that can resolve DNS names in the target domain.

I am running windows server 2012 R2 trying to connect with a windows 7 computer.
I have already set the DNS in my computer to the Server running DNS Server (same as DC server)
I can ping the server domain name and IP, i can nslookup the FQDN aswell with no problems.

Ive literally tried every option provided in other posts and to no avail. nothing works. Ive set up my DNS forward look up zone and a reverse look up zone too.

This is what i get from ipcongif, nslookup and pinging the server.

Can someone please help me and tell me what i am doing wrong
