Problem removing server from sites and services
Hello,
I am trying to remove an old dc from the sites and services view. I have seized the roles and the server is now off and all is working well on the other dc's as far as AD is going. I have tried a metadata cleanup but it fails saying that it doesn't exist, If I try and remove it from the gui it says DSA object cannot be removed. How can I remove this object? Many thanks Simon

Re: Problem removing server from sites and services
Have you tried ADSIEDIT.MSC?
BE CAREFUL though... you can do a LOT of damage by misuse of this tool. It looks deceptively like Active Directory Users and Computers... but it isn't anywhere near that simple...

Re: Problem removing server from sites and services
Not to sure what I am playing with in ADSI Edit. Could someone tell me how I can remove the failed dc after the metadate cleanup failed?
Thanks

Re: Problem removing server from sites and services
I thought it was a little funny that you would post that in the 2000/XP Pro forum.
 Have you read through these two articles? http://www.petri.co.il/delete_failed_dcs_from_ad.htm http://www.petri.co.il/fix_unsuccessful_demotion.htm
