well, according with Frank Röder

to active directory manually.
Navigate to:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ProductOptions]
Change "ProductType"="LanmanNT" to "ProductType"="ServerNT"
Restart the server. Delete the NTDS Folder.
This way is not supported by Microsoft!

Hello Jorge,

thanks for your help, demotion and Cleanup are possibles because are in
DC1, but, how can I change my DC2 into a single PC pertaining to domain,
I mean, I can't demoted DC2 neither change from domain, because in its
properties appears with *unknow* domain, and doesn't have any option to
change it.

Do you know a command in order to remove it from current domain

Thanks .

Disconnect the 2nd DC from network.

than perform metadata cleanup:

You need to manually remove the DC from Active directory and Sites.

Hi, my 2nd. DC fails, doesn't have any FSMO neither GC, just AD.

Now, when start shows the follow message:

lsass.exe - Error del sistema
Error de inicialización del Administrador de cuentas de seguridad por
el
siguiente error: No se puede iniciar el servicio de directorio. Estado
del
error: 0xc00002e1. Haga click en aceptar para apagar este sistema y
reiniciar en modo a prueba de errores, vea el registro de sucesos para
información más detallada.

And, when before goes shutdown sends its last message:
"Active Directory está generando los índices", but nothing happens in
next reboot.

How can I demote it, I tried with GUI, later with dcpromo
/forceremoval but nothing help, when I review it PC properties appears
without domain joining, just shows *Desconocido* (it means *unknow*).

Note: I forget my last backup state, it runs Win2k3 R2. thanx.
