Remove the windows machine, it shouldn't be there.

The AD DC should be found by DNS, is the windows DC running a DNS
server ?

All you really need in /etc/hosts is:

127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
172.28.240.252  dc-02.example.com  dc-02

I wonder if you need to pre-create the new DCs dns info in AD before
the join ?
