Windows Server 2012 Essentials Install

I am trying to install Windows 2012 essentials and the Install keeps hanging at 80%. I have tried to reinstall 3 times and each time it hangs at 80%. I am doing a Migration not a clean install. I have bought Jim Clark's(essentials eBook) & Terry's(Window 8 Home Server) eBooks and decided that Essentials is the best replacement for me.

Background:

I currently have a Home Server 2011 which I use for Backup and Media streaming. I also have a windows server 2012 Hyper V server which I use to host VMs I use for Development. The Hyper V Host is also running AD DS, DNS. This enables me to reuse user accounts and services account on all the VMs. 

Since Windows 2012 Essentials has to be the PDC I am trying to migrate the my current domain over to the Essentials Server. I do see that all the FSMO roles have transferred to the Windows 2012 Essentials Server.

I think it has something to do with DNS or security but I am not sure what to do next. I get a couple of different errors when I run DcDiag on the two Servers. I wasn't sure if the access errors was due to the install not finishing.

On the EssentialsServer I get that following 2 errors when I run dcdiag.exe

   Testing server: Default-First-Site-Name\EssentialsServer

      Starting test: Advertising

         Warning: DsGetDcName returned information for \\HyperVServer.mydomain.local,

         when we were trying to reach EssentialsServer.

         SERVER IS NOT RESPONDING or IS NOT CONSIDERED SUITABLE.

         Unable to connect to the NETLOGON share! (\\EssentialsServer\netlogon)

         [EssentialsServer] An net use or LsaPolicy operation failed with error 67,

         The network name cannot be found..

On the HyperVServer I get that following 2 errors when I run dcdiag.exe

     Starting test: KnowsOfRoleHolders
        [EssentialsServer] LDAP bind failed with error 1326,
        The user name or password is incorrect..
        Warning: EssentialsServer is the Schema Owner, but is not responding to LDAP Bind.
        Warning: EssentialsServer is the Domain Owner, but is not responding to LDAP Bind.

        Warning: EssentialsServer is the Rid Owner, but is not responding to LDAP Bind.

   Running enterprise tests on : mydomain.local

         Warning: DcGetDcName(PDC_REQUIRED) call failed, error 1355
         A Primary Domain Controller could not be located.
         The server holding the PDC role is down.

Any help on where to go next would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks much!
