In addition I would also recommend to disable Antivirus and security application if any installed on DC and reboot the server and check also ensure that latest hotfix and SP is installed on the server .

Please don't start randomly rebooting DC's. Bad advice. This doesn't help resolve the issue nor is it a recommended practice by Microsoft.
I have included a couple of powershell scripts that will dump drivers and services. Use this to try and examine what you have on the box and check for updates and compatibility.
############## Dump Drivers ###################
$computer = "LocalHost"
$namespace = "root\CIMV2"
$fileName = Read-Host "Enter the File Name for the CSV Output."
Get-WmiObject -class Win32_SystemDriver |
sort-object DisplayName |
select DisplayName, name, @{n="version";e={(get-item $_.pathname).VersionInfo.FileVersion}} |
ConvertTo-CSV -Delimiter ";" -noTypeInformation |
out-file $env:temp\$fileName.csv
Write-host "File is located at:" $env:temp\$fileName.csv
Write-host "The delimiter is the character ';'"
############## Dump Services ###################
$computer = "LocalHost"
$tempLoc="c:\temp"
$fileName = Read-Host "Enter the File Name for the CSV Output."
# $svcStatus = get-service | select name,displayname,status
$svcStatus = Get-WMIObject Win32_Service | select Name, StartMode, DisplayName, State
$tempFile=@()
$svcStatus | foreach-object{
$tempLine ='' | Select name,displayname,startmode,state
$tempLine.DisplayName=$_.DisplayName -replace ',',' '
$tempLine.name=$_.name -replace ',',' '
$tempLine.startmode=$_.startmode -replace ',',' '
$tempLine.state=$_.state -replace ',',' '
$tempFile+=$tempLine
}
$tempFile | sort-object -property Name | export-csv "$tempLoc\$fileName.csv" -delimiter ";" -noTypeInformation
I also have a couple of other powershell scripts that if you run the drivers or services dump it will do a comparison on the two systems and let you know incomptatibilities. I can upload those as well if you are interested.
