[ActiveDir] Metadata Cleanup DSRemoveDSServerW

[IAN FRASER]

Hi

I have an issue when using DCPROMO /forceremove to remove a DC from a domain. I get so far with Metadata Cleanup (following the MS article 216498 that 99% of people probably use!) and get the error lsited below when I try to remove the select server.

DsRemoveDsServerW error 0x2098(Insufficient access rights to perform the operation.)

I'm logged in with domain admin.

I was forced to use forceremove becuause I had a rights issue when using DCPROMO as standard. Trying to DCPRMO from the console kept saying I didn''t have access, although I was using the Domain Admin account.

Any Ideas?
