Resolution

Prior to new install, ensure the following:
 
  1. DNS is set up properly to resolve the hostname of the server.  Try adding the FQDN of the hostname to the local hosts file.
  2. Login as local Administrator, not using domain authentication.
  3. Do not use RDP or remote access to install.  Install from the console of the server itself.
