My DNS is configured perfectly and I still have this problem

I also have a similar problem - I demoted my DC which could not register clients and then promoted it again. Upon restart, it hangs at "applying computer settings" before logon.

I managed to resolve the issue by going to Network Connections and in "Advanced TCP/IP Settings" under "DNS" Tab I checked "Use this connection's DNS Suffix in DNS registration" and then when pinging the full domain name it replied back.

This can also occur if the netlogin service isn't running...
