This thread brought up an interesting question in my mind: How do you remove a domain controller from AD that has been totally destroyed, by fire for instance? I know you could restore it to new hardware and then run DCPROMO, but what if you have no tapes? Is there any way to remove the dead DC it from AD? Do you have to use ADSIEDIT or something?

Does this server host any FSMO roles? If so, you HAVE to transfer the roles first before you can DCPROMO it. Once any roles are transferred, it is as simple as running DCPROMO.

What MMC do you use? Using Active Directory users and computer gives an error and won't let you remove the server from the "Domain Controllers" container.
