RE: Reformat Server after uninstall active directory?

Hello,

Thanks for your post.

Based on your current situation, you have uninstalled the Active Directory.
Therefore, I suppose you must have performed the checking steps in the
following articles:

Decommissioning a domain controller
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/library/Opera
tions/b96e3f0a-bf98-4a80-8718-dd80dc1071fd.mspx

Therefore, don¡¯t worry about that because after demote DC the databases
and fsmo roles have been transferred to another DC.
Demote after demote, the databases, fsmo roles will be transferred. Now
you¡¯d better let it disjoin the domain first and then you can feel free to
go ahead to reinstall the OS.

HTH!

Thanks & Regards
