How can I remove or demote a Domain Controller manually in Windows 2000 Server.

Yes, you can do that by running dcpromo.exe. The command dcpromo is for both installing and uninstalling ADS.

I did before I sent the message. Being that it was a Domain controler and also global catalog when you run dcpromo the server can't communicate with another domain controler, so the server was not allowing me to demote.

I went ahead and connectedboth servers into a router and made DNS changes, removed global catalog and I was able to dcpromo after.

Thanks for you help,

Tony
