Just for fun, can you check this before rebuilding? Curious about netbios
name resolution as well based on the error....

NOTE: You may also get the error "RPC server is unavailable" running Dcpromo
on a member server. This can occur if you have only one DC and it does not
have file and printer sharing enable on its network card.

Thanks Zoran,
I already checked a few things and I think is a PDC Emulator role problem.
I wasn't added any new hardware to the server.
There is not problems with disks.
Since this is the only server in the organization I don't have replication
issues.
I checked the role owners with ntdsutil and the server owns all of them.
Even I seize the PDC Emulator role to the same server and it succeded but
the problem is stil present.
When I tried to add a new DC, before run dcpromo.exe I had to add the
computer to the domain and received a message stating that no DC of my
domain could be connected.
I run dcdiag.exe on the server and it fails the Fsmocheck. The rest was Ok.
This is the message:
Starting test: FsmoCheck

Warning: DcGetDcName(PDC_REQUIRED) call failed, error 1355
