in that case please type in

setup.com /prepareAD /organizationName: First Organization

Instead of First Organization you could specify any name which would be your organization name.

Don't you want to install Client access server role ?? Or you simply did a copy paste from my command given.

Self-Explanatory.

ITest.com seems your domain - you need to specify your DC.

Install IIS - simple.
