On one of our servers, somebody (who probably only was supposed to install the AD Management Tools), instead decided to install the AD DS Role on one of our Windows Server 2016 boxes!
At the moment, it displays (in Server Manager):
"Post-deployment Configuration:
Configuration required for Active Direct Domain Services at <servername>
Promote this server to a domain controller"
Can we just remove the AD DS Role, or do we have to continue with the promotion to a DC and then demote it afterwards?
Many thanks.
