Hi Jorge,

Thank you for your help. I did fixed the Secondary DCs. I didn't performed
the metadta cleanup since that error. However, I did all other cleanup. I
removed the records in the PDC and joined the domain again. Then, I ran
dcpromo command. It works fine after I checked all event log, as well as
replication correct. Therefore, both DCs work propably.


Thanks,

Stephen

You can use Windows NTBackup or any Active Directory-aware backup and

- Disconnect the Failed Dc from network.
- Force Demotion on that Server (dcpromo /forceremoval)
- Then remove all references to that Dc on AD database (Metadata
cleanup).
- Remove any Dns references to the Dc.
- If necessary seize any left Op Master roles that were hosted by that
Dc.
- If the domain controller that you are demoting is a DNS server or
global
catalog server, you must create a new GC or DNS server to satisfy load
balancing, fault tolerance, and configuration settings in the forest.
- When you use the remove selected server command in NTDSUTIL, the
NTDSDSA
object, the parent object for incoming connections to the domain
controller
that you forcibly demoted is removed. The command does not remove the
parent
server objects that appear in the Sites and Services snap-in. Use the
Active
Directory Sites and Services MMC snap-in to remove the server object if
the
domain controller will not be promoted into the forest with the same

software
for AD, what software is the best for AD? Can I use backup software
form
Windows Accessaries?


Thanks,
