Assuming that your Active Directory schema as has been extended and the appropriate server roles and services have been configured beforehand, setup will succeed in the installation of the default or first Management Point for your site. Verify that your MP is communicating properly by checking the mpcontrol log and looking for "http status code 200" for good. Log locations are slightly different on both the server and client sides of SCCM. SCCM 2012 is 64-bit so most of your logs will be inside "program files" underneath "Microsoft Configuration Manager" or inside "SMS_CCM" when your MP is installed. I strongly recommend using Trace32 for all log viewing and for those of you who used the SMS 2003 version for SCCM 2007, this program will no longer work. You will need to download the SCCM 2007 Toolkit and use the trace32 program that comes with it for SCCM 2012. I'll make one note here, that this version of trace32 does not always show the accurate time of a particular event which is a bit frustrating. If someone knows how to fix that then let me know.
After the SCCM 2012 console has been launched successfully, you will notice right away that the look and feel of it is unlike previous versions and is much closer to those of System Center Operations Manager or System Center Service Manager. There is a dashboard on the bottom left-hand corner of the console which contains "Administration", "Software Library", "Monitoring", and "Assets and Compliance" panes. There is also a functional ribbon at the top of the console which makes available certain features based on selections made either in the dashboard or in the right-viewing pane. Here is a picture:
