Good morning,

I want to remove a child domain in windows server 2003 in order to raise the forest functional level from windows 2000 native to windows 2003 to create an interforest trust. Using the ntdsutil processhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/230306/EN-US, i receive this error message :

error 0x2162 The requested domain could not be deleted because there exist domain controllers that still host this domain.

i tried this solution : http://trinityhome.org/Home/index.php?wpid=121& , i could find neither the server nor computer accounts in this domain. when i put a computer on it,  it gives me: "this domain ... doesn't exist "; I tried to recreate a child domain with the same name, an error message told me that this domain is already exist. I verified all computer names in the parent domain even if this domain doesn't exist for us. I permanently receive this error .

Does someone can help me please or give me suggestions? i think that i'll find an answer today on this forum , i'm waiting for.....

Thank you.
