This could be caused by a number of issues!

Do you have domain ADMIN rights? or are you logged on locally when doing DCPROMO?

this seems to me to be the most obvious and so easily missed issues

make sure the primary DNS on the server you are promoting to a Domain controller is set to a domain controller (which should be running DNS). I learned this the hard way but it has always worked for me.
