When you specify a domain it will try to locate and use that domain, so
it is trying to contact the de. domain servers and find the primary
server listed in the SOA record for the test.de. domain so that it can
add the Active Directory records that are needed. You should use a real
domain, or a subdomain of a real domain (like win2k.netnotix.com. or
something similar).
