It's been a while, but if I remember the old NT server manager will do it... then check it's gone with ntdsutil.

Sent: 02 May 2006 20:37 To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] how to get rid of an obsolete DC? In a child domain I have what I believe is the remnants of an old NT4 DC. Using ADUC, it shows up in the child domain's "Domain Controllers" OU. When I try to delete it, I get "The DSA object cannot be deleted." When I use ADSIEdit and go to the domain, it only shows me the two functioning DCs and not the one I'm looking for. What other tools are available for this type of "house cleaning"? Thanks!
