Mix of Windows 2003 and 2008 R2 domain controllers. Both 2008 servers on HP DL360 G7 physical boxes. On bootup no problems, everything comes up fine. On shutdown however both servers hang on "Shutting down..." We end up having to use the power button to turn the system off. Nothing is showing up in the event viewer. I know on startup you can have selective startup to troubleshoot startup issues, but is there such a thing as a selective shutdown? I'm not quite sure how to troubleshoot a shutdown problem. On suggestion of some searches I have checked DNS and ran a nsdtutil integrity check which came up clean. dcdiag passes everything except for NCSecDesc (which we're not using RODC so it says to ignore), SystemLog (because there are errors in the syslog, but don't pertain to this), and VerifyEnterpriseReferences (which refers to a domain controller that no longer exists and I know I need to clean up). The only major issue I see is the domain controller that needs to be cleaned up. Before I dive into adsiedit and perform surgery, is it logical this could cause a shutdown hang or does anyone have a jewel of wisdom to point me elsewhere?
