Thierry,
Just to add what Ace stated....
When using ntdsutil to do the Metadata Cleanup that Ace is suggestion ( and
I would really do that! ) you need to make sure that you heed the warning in
step 5. Remember, you are binding to the existing Domain Controller. As
Herb likes to point out, 'binding' is a technical term that means 'connect'
in ntdsutilese. A lot of people make the mistake of binding to the DC that
they are trying to remove. Ain't gonna work!
Also, make sure that the remaining DC is a DNS Server and a Global Catalog.
Also, you might just have to seize the FSMO Roles that the dead DC held.
You would use your new friend - ntdsutil - to do this. But as Ace stated,
first make sure that the surviving DC has all of the FSMO Roles and then
remove the dead DC from your environment ( as per the article ).
