This ended up being a DNS issue between the two AD DC's.  First AD DC had a DNS server as well so had to have itself as a DNS server.  So enter first DNS server's IP into the DNS 1 field and enter the router's (usually 192.168.0.1) into DNS 2 field.

Likewise for DNS 2.  Enter the IP of the second DNS server into the NIC DNS 1 field of this second DNS / AD DC server.  DNS 2 should be the main router 192.168.0.1

Cheers,
