I recently demoted a win2kr2 DC from my network, unfortunate for me I remove the entire Server from the Network physically as well. Now I am facing with numerous ADDS Repl. Errors (Obviously) How do I remove the record of my removed DC from my network for GOOD?

  • How did you demote the DC because depending on the steps you took there could be dozens of references to that old Dc still remaining...

You need to clean up the forest metadata. Here's a TechNet article on how to do it.

The problem is that you used dcpromp /forceremoval to demote the DC. That switch should only ever be used as a last resort to get a botched domain controller off the network and it won't demote gracefully.

If that DC had any FSMO roles on it you will likely have to seize them.

  • I already have seized the FSMO roles to another dc and that is working fine. Its just I am seeing replication errors pointing to the removed DC in my Event Viewer.... Thank you for the article. I will go through this and let you know what happened.....cheers
