I cannot access remotely, although can access files and shares, just no
terminal access. Tried as well without the NW cable, no luck. I am going to
let it sit over night to see if it is OK in the morning. What is the next
course of action? Boot locally, then demote as domain controller, remove,
and then add back to the domain?
