    ***Updated after re-reading the question and realizing I misunderstood the first time.***
    Need some clarification before I can accurately help.

    Did you promote one or both servers to a Domain Controller, and if both are they in the same domain?

    How are you trying to add them in Server Manager?

    Anytime you have an error it always helps to include the exact error message with the question.

    Ok so you have two servers, are they both in a domain? One in a Domain one in a workgroup? Both in a workgroup?

    Also how are you trying to add them in Server Manager?

    Have you followed the steps detailed here Add Servers to Server Manager for your specific scenario?

    Since you seem to be new to sys admin'ing, tell us what it says in Event Viewer. There will be an event ID and event message that correlate to the kerberos error at the exact date and time you generated that message.

    Make sure that you have Remote Administration enabled in Server manager.

    As I read it...2 server 2012 Data Center servers. Each a DC, each a unique domain?
    You probably don't have the right credentials to manage the other server(in the other domain) in Server Manager.
    You prob want this link...
    Windows Server 2012 - Server Manager Troubleshooting Guide, Part II: Troubleshoot Manageability Status Errors in Server Manager - TechNet Articles - United States (English) - TechNet Wiki

    but you probably are making this really hard on yourself...

    If I'm accurate then can I suggest you blow one DC away(or demote it), rebuild it as a normal server and join it to the domain that is left on the other server. Then you can use the same credentials in Server manager to have it appear.
