Unable to change the workgroup of the server to domain name [closed]

Question

I am unable to change the workgroup of the server to my domain name on the DC

The following is the error i get...

Note: This information is intended for a network administrator. If you are not your network's administrator, notify the administrator that you received this information, which has been recorded in the file C:\Windows\debug\dcdiag.txt.

The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate an Active Directory Domain Controller (AD DC) for domain "core.com":

The error was: "DNS name does not exist." (error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR)

The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.core.com

Common causes of this error include the following:

• The DNS SRV records required to locate a AD DC for the domain are not registered in DNS. These records are registered with a DNS server automatically when a AD DC is added to a domain. They are updated by the AD DC at set intervals. This computer is configured to use DNS servers with the following IP addresses:

127.0.0.1
76.12.70.126

• One or more of the following zones do not include delegation to its child zone:

core.com
com
. (the root zone)

I have entered made the DC as the prefered DNS server by entering its IP address on its NIC

Could you tell me what the problem could be?

Further logs from my investigation

C:\Users\Brett>nslookup core.com
Server:  UnKnown
Address:  76.12.70.126
Name:    core.com

C:\Users\Brett>nslookup

set q=srv
_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.core.com

*** UnKnown can't find _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.core.com: Non-existent domain

Directory Server Diagnosis

Performing initial setup:
   Trying to find home server...
   ***Error: 202668-9 is not a Directory Server.  Must specify /s:<DirectoryServer> or  /n:<Naming Context> or nothing to use the local machine.
   ERROR: Could not find home server.

P.S: The Active Directory Domain services on the server is stopped and i am also unable to start it.

I am into programming, this is my first attempt at any such task. I hope to find some useful answers

That's not how you load balance Remote Desktop services. There's a dedicated Windows Server role for that specific task: Remote Desktop Gateway
