hello Pro's
today I removed non-working DC on win2k8 server by dcpromo /forceremoval and it's finished
and I have this article to follow to make
Clean Up Server Metadata
but because it's critical issue, I want to make sure that I understand what to do.. the question is:
I do the configuration on the server that had the orphaned DC that I already removed, or from another DC which is working in the domain??
the config below:
To clean up server metadata
Open a command prompt.
Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
ntdsutil
At the ntdsutil: prompt, type:
metadata cleanup
Perform metadata cleanup as follows:
- If you are performing metadata cleanup by using the version of Ntdsutil.exe that is included with Windows Server 2003 SP1, at themetadata cleanup: prompt, type:
remove selected server ServerName
- If you are performing metadata cleanup by using the version of Ntdsutil.exe that is included with Windows Server 2003 SP1, at themetadata cleanup: prompt, type:
note: The removed DC is windows 2008 slandered, and the master domain in win 2003 Ent sp2
