You
shuld also remove that from the METABASE using NTDSUTIL &
ADSIEDIT.
FORCEREMOVAL will not replicate the changes and your PC is not in the LAN
too, so its as good as format.
Most
important! you shuld remove that from Active Directory Metabase. Its explained
in KS KB articles
Try
Googling!

Try dcpromo
/forceremoval. This will remove AD from the server and turn it back into
a standalone.

Uninstallation
Our new PDC from Dell
turns out to be physically damaged inside, so we're sending it back. I
want to remove AD from the system (for security reasons) but DCPROMO isn't
working because this DC is now off the LAN. It's off the LAN because I
successfully cloned (via NTbackup) its behavior to the replacement PDC which
now has its same name and IP address. Is there a quick and easy way to
wipe out AD without actually reformatting the system?
Thanks!
