Hi Mark
Are the other DCs replicating with anybody else? Has the updated
configuration reached them yet? If their only replication partners were
that one DC they may not know it has been demoted. In that case you should
be able to create a manual connection to a DC that knows the dead DC is
gone, let it replicate and update itself, then let the KCC find another
path. We had the same problem when a hub site DC with multiple spokes got
changed. The hubsite replicated the changes to a single DC during demotion
but because the other DCs were configured to only replicate with the
hubsite they did not know the hub DC was gone until the hub DC told them it
was gone.

| Subject: [ActiveDir] Can't get rid of old DC in Sites and Services
|
>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
I have a DC, which used to have all FISMO roles, that is causing me grief.
The server had issues so I put the roles on another DC and demoted it to a
member server. I then deleted all of the static site links that I had set
up and let AD configure them automatically. It has been working fine for a
while, but now, for some reason, this server is still being seen as a DC
because some of the other DC=B9s are still trying to replicate with it. I
went into Sites and Services and deleted the links, but it won=B9t actually
let me deleted the server container for that DC that isn=B9t a DC anymore.
I=
t
says it can=B9t delete the DSA object. How the heck do I get rid of this
DC
in AD once and for all.
Thanks,
