At the moment you think "I could remove the domain now" don't do that, but shutdown the DCs to see what breaks. Of course you need to ignore errors concerning replication with that domain. If after a while (some days) nothing or nobody has started screaming then you could demote the DCs. Don't forget to remove the DNS delegation and to select the option "this is the last DC of this domain" (or something that sounds like it) when demoting the last DC. Checking this option makes sure the existance of the domain is removed at the domain naming master. So make also sure that FSMO is available. Jorge

All active users have been migrated off to a new parent domain. Are there any best practices, thins I need to be aware or concerned about before starting this process?
