How do I know if this DC had a GC and if it's not the only one does it matter?

Hello DonnaJabbeliborg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,

If you post the OU's from domain name down to the server's OU, i think we
can provide you the way for CN= etc.

I didn't move them. They guy before set them up that way. If I move
them, will it mess anything else up. I knew they should be in the DC
OU but I ws scare to move them.

Before going on move the DC's back to the DC OU, DC's should be
always stay under this OU. Do NOT move them to another OU.

And if you follow the articles from the links, you can remove them
without any problem.

We only have one Domain. The server to remove is 41-server-1 or
10.3.41.240. It was at our Edgefield site... Note: The DC's are not
in the DC OU, they are in a OU called servers which are in the
domain in an OU called library systems, inside of an OU called
servers. I don't know if this matters.

I have a DC that crashed. It doesn't hold any of the fsmo roles. I
was going to demote it anyway. So, I pulled it off the network and
want to clean up AD. I ran ntdsutil on one of my other DC's. When
I get to select operation target and enter list domains, I get Not
connected to a server - use connections. The server is on the
network and I have no connectivity issues, why do I get this
message? I tryed it on more than one DC, I get the same message...
Tell me what I need to post so you can help.

It was also used for DNS and DHCP, so any info or links on how to
remove it from them would be great too!

This is my first time doing this so please bare with me. Thanks!
DJ
