I fixed it. It turns out that my AD domain name was too long. Once I reinstalled the AD Domain Services with a shorter name, it worked.

Hi,
I actually viewed that and it did not work for me. Do you have any other solutions?

So, now i cannot start, repair or uninstall the crm server 2011. What have you done?
Windows Server 2008 SP2 (x64)
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 SP3 (x64)
