Exact Error: the operation failed because the attempt to join this computer to the domain failed the specified account already exists
Solution: In my existing AD, I went under "Domain Controllers" OU and saw an entry of the host name of the second DC that i have been unsuccessfully attempted before. I deleted/demoted the second DC from the entry, and went back to the second DC and re-initiated the DCPROMO. It is now completing the wizard.
