All correct above, except a Reverse DNS zone is not a necessity.<br />
<br />
You could also install DNS as part of the DCPromo process, this usually works extremely well, as it makes all of the proper subdomains that AD wants to see.<br />
<br />
Good Luck,<br />

Normally when you go for DCPromo wizard, if there is no DNS service running, <br />
the wizard will prompt you to install the DNS server first on this server.<br />
may be you have skipped that part.<br />
