On of my Active Directory Server Died, I have to reload a new OS to bring it back to life. Now I have a Active Directory server in my Windows 2000 Domian that is no longer. I have tried to remove server from Active Directory Sites and Services, and I get a message about The DSA cannot be deleted. If anyone knows how to remove a server from Active Directory Let me know. Thank you.

if you had a backup of the old server you may be able to restore the system specific info and continue with the same server name.
otherwise you'll probably have to wait for ad to determin that the server is no longer there. I would think that you would be able to remove it after a day or so though.
