What is your ultimate goal here?
I'm assuming the act of "disjoining" and demoting the DC are connected.
Are you removing a domain from the forest that is no longer needed?
Or are you moving a domain to a completely separate forest?
Demoting aDC is the easy part. Run dcpromo from the command line and follow instructions. You will be asked if this the the last DC in the domain. If this is the case, you are effectively removing the domain from the forest.
