RE: [ActiveDir] Trying to Run DCpromo on a DC Fails

Mariusz,   If what you have done to this point has not been successful, then I suspect that you're not going to find any other methods that will avoid getting into NTDSUtil and removing remnants of a dead DC.   You can follow this: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;332199   But, even this procedure requires the use of NTDSUtil to remove the failed pieces of the dead DC.

The problem is that I can't demount Active directories on one of my servers. The description of that error is that is problem with creation of computer account in AD. The wizard suggest me to use a acoount from Enterprise Admin group but when I use one of that accounts that doesn't solve problem. Maybe is somekind of trick to solve that problem and uninstall AD (by wizard). I don't want to manually remowe AD from computer.   Best regards Mariusz Iller MSP,MSA, MSCE
