We have a file server that shares a name with an old DC that failed. Instead of removing the metadata for the DC, someone just installed a new server with the same name. That name now unfortunately is held by our main file server.
I need to remove the DC metadata, but need to leave the server up and running. My question is this... if I run this kind of operation: http://www.petri.co.il/delete_failed_dcs_from_ad.htm or http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216498 ...is the current server still going to be in the domain as a member server? I haven't slept well in a few days, and I'm exhausted, so if the answer to this question is obvious, please don't beat up on me too much. I just don't want to create more problems while trying to solve another.
