If the "Active Directory Domain Services" is unavailable, then "something" is really wrong here. That's a core component of Server 2012 (R2) essentials. 

 

Make sure the DNS settings for the server is set to itself (127.0.0.1 at least), and make sure that the clients are pointed to the server as the DNS server.

 

Also make sure that the Windows Server Essentials services are running on the server.

 

And I've fixed the PM issue.
