I can not connect to exchange 2013 ECP. An error occurred during forest discovery.

I have 2 test servers running 2012r2 that I am using to study for my certifications. Both machines are clean installations.

This is my setup:

Server 1
Configured as a domain controller
Roles installed:
Active directory users and computers
DNS
DHCP


Server2
Configured as a member server and is connected to the domain. I have hyper v role installed and I have a virtual machine created. I have installed  exchange 2013 on the virtual machine.

After the installation was successful, I was able to connect to ECP, and I could access the administrator account. When I rebooted the domain controller, it died.(it was a used sever) I then reconfigured another machine as a domain controller with the exact same settings as before. When I try to log into exchange ecp, I get this error.

I can ping both ways between the exchange server and the domain controller, and I can resolve the DNS server.

Is it possible that I need to create some type of record in DNS? Are there any logs I can look at?
How can I fix this? Thank you very much.
