Please run DCPROMO and remove AD from it before rebuilding it. Although that is assuming that you have other DC's in your AD structure. Removing AD from the DC needing to be rebuilt would be for the benefit of the other DC's, and you will need to make sure that your FSMO roles are assigned correctly - any FSMO roles this DC currently has would need to be reassigned. Do that before removing AD (obviously, since you can't do it after). If you only have the one DC, do whatever you want. I suppose that a bit more information would be in order.

Do I need to remove AD before I trash it, or can I simply rebuild it and then run DCPROMO again? I have done this before in the test lab and had no obvious problems. Any Ideas or thoughts?
