Re: Remove Domain Controller

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

if you already tried NTDSUTIL and nothing has been found, you can just
delete the computer account of the DC. If you are not able to, try to use
ADISIEDIT.MSC

There's a domain controller listed when i'm in aduc when I right click on
the
domain and select connect to a domain controllerm that is non existent
anywhere else in active directory. How can I resolve this issue and
remove
the dc. I tried using ntdsutil and metadata cleanup to see if it was
listed
there and no luck.
