Re: Remove Child Domain?

I followed the KB but it wouldn't allow me to remove it, stating a domain
controller still exists for the domain. This is correct. The domain
controller is in active use for the other company. Our domain is
towerenergy.com. I initially set up the other company as
next.towerenergy.com. I reinstalled the DC as next.com. But, stuck in Active
directory domains and sites is next.towerenergy.com. Same with Trusts and
Default-First-Site-Name. Any thoughts? Again, thank you for your input.
