Title: Message

If DCPROMO runs cleanly, you should be fine. Run DCPROMO, remove from the domain, rebuild, bring back up....We've done this a few times with no problems. You may want to go into adsi edit and make sure all the stuff is gone, just to be safe. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pelle, Joe Sent: Friday, November 07, 2003 9:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Domain Controller rebuild Quick question for y’all…   If I want to run DCPROMO against a DC (ABC-SERVER) and remove AD from it… then, rebuild the DC (format the system partition) and use the SAME server name (ABC-SERVER) and finally run DCPROMO on it to add AD, can this be done?  The whole point to the question is:  This is a remote DC and would like to not have to remap that office’s drives, printers, etc.  So if it’s cool with AD to keep the same server name we’d all be very happy.   As always, your help and suggestions are greatly appreciated…!   Joe Pelle Systems Analyst Information Technology Valassis / IT 19975 Victor Parkway Livonia, MI 48152 Tel 734.591.3000      Fax 734.632.6151 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.valassis.com/   This message may have included proprietary or protected information.  This message and the information contained herein are not to be further communicated without my express written consent.
