But if a file server and removed from the domain, aren’t domain-specific permissions lost when removed from the domain ?

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> http://www.petri.co.il/delete_failed_dcs_from_ad.htm or <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216498> 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.
