Re: Windows 2003 DC Demotion / Promotion

Can I do this simply with Domain Administrator rights in the child
domain, or does this require me to have Enterprise Administrator
rights?
- Domain Admin rights.

Do rights required for the demotion portion change if I use
the /forceremoval option?
-You need to logon the server to use the force removal switch, but careful,
you'll manually have to remove the entries from AD.
Can you explain us why are you asking this questions, or what type of issues
are you having?

Quick question (and one I probably should remember from the MCSE...).

I have a Windows 2000 mode forest / root, with a child domain running
Windows 2003 native mode.

I have an ailing DC in this child domain, and I'd like to demote him,
rebuild and then promote him.

Can I do this simply with Domain Administrator rights in the child
domain, or does this require me to have Enterprise Administrator
rights? Do rights required for the demotion portion change if I use
the /forceremoval option?

Thanks!

Josh
