Just to note, I have seen the same problem deleting "real" Windows Server DCs with rc4 and rc5. The first time I try deleting the DC via ADUC, I get the error:
*Windows cannot delete object LDAP://10.1.1.254/CN=ADC2,OU=DomainControllers,DC=internal,DC=testdom,DC=com because: The parameter is incorrect. On subsequent tries, the following error is displayed: Windows cannot delete object LDAP://10.1.1.254/CN=ADC2,OU=DomainControllers,DC=internal,DC=testdom,DC=com because: The specified module could not be found.* * * *My testing has shown that Windows Servers often fail to demote in various circumstances, so a solution to remove them from AD would be very useful.* On Wed, Dec 5, 2012 at 7:36 AM, Alex Matthews <[email protected]>wrote: > Hiya, > > > I have an S4 domain running that I added another S4 machine to as an extra > domain controller.
