Hi Noel,
>From the error you get, it seems that your DNS server is not configured correctly to be
authoritative for the zone that contains the Active Directory domain name.
Before installing Active Directory, we must install and configure a DNS server that is
authoritative for your Active Directory domain name, since Active Directory depends on
DNS to function correctly and requires the creation of the SYSVOL share.

Please reference the steps listed in KB237675 to set Up the Domain Name System for
Active Directory. The article can be found at: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=237675
