RE: error found after dc demote

Hello patrick,

Seems that your removal with ntdsutil was not complete. Also possible that they come back after rolling back AD01. Check with that article again, if they will NEVER come back.

Also check again that the FSMO roles are on AD05 or AD06 and that both machines are GC's. Just to be sure that AD01 is completely ready for the removal.

Hi Meinolf,

Because that 2 DC were out of order, I just use ntdsutil to remove
it. DNS records are removed. Computer object still there.

Thanks

Hello patrick,

And they are not longer visible in DNS and AD? So now you are more
or less at the point before removing AD01?
