I have just started here. So this looks like a legacy issue. ugh!
When I try to remove AD from some servers that are in AD but do not need to be Domain Controllers, it always fails and looking at the logs, I see the server that holds the Infrastructure role is an old one from 4 years ago. I have followed the suggestions using adsiedit and the like and it 'sorta' worked. Yesterday all were pointing to the old server. Today, I was able to edit it and it looks like it should. running ndsutil points to the correct servers.
I have one server that does not get "the correct role holder' will not allow me to asdiedit the role holder. Followed that kb. dcpromo still fails. I gotta be missing something. (obviously).
I am stumped. All diags run ok and error (fairly) free. Before I hose it up too much,
Any ideas?
I have 4 servers and want to remove the AD services from 2.
