I used an account from the parent domain (which is in the Enterprise Admins group), when specifying DNS options when promoting a Win2012 server to be a CD in the child domain, and all went quietly .... Now to let it settle overnight, try logging in with a workstation VM that is currently off, and verify that I can log in. Then to demote the Win2008 R2, and upgrade the forest/domain levels.
