What steps should be taken to demote a current DC and former PDC to a member
server ? Also, how can we verify that the current PDC contains the Global
Catalog, FSMO, etc... ? Are there any other AD components that should be
offloaded from the DC and former PDC before demoting ? TIA ...

p.s. What logon information will we use when this machine gets demoted ? We
do not remember the original Admin account and password when this was
originally set-up, and there does not appear to be a Computer
Management/Local Users & Groups applet on here since it is a DC. TIA ...

Cool, thanks. Ran all of the steps you mentioned, then during the DCPromo
downgrade we received the following error: "The Operation Failed. Managing
The Network Session to somedomain.cc Failed. Logon Failure: The Target
Account Name Is Incorrect." The following is the results from DCDiag on the
machine that is being downgraded (DCDiag from PDC looked okay):

Hello E-Double,

If you have the need to demote a DC:

- run replmon from the run line or repadmin /showrepl (only if more then
one DC exist), dcdiag /v and netdiag v/ from the command prompt on all DC's
to check for errors, if you have some post the complete output from the command
here or solve them first. For this tools you have to install the support\tools\suptools.msi
from the 2000 or 2003 installation disk.

- if no errors exist, transfer the 5 FSMO roles to the other DC (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324801)

- "netdom query fsmo" in a command prompt will show you the FSMO role holder

- make the other DC Global catalog server if not done (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=313994)

- check that you are running Active directory integrated zone's (easier for
replication, if you have more then one DNS server) have aslo DNS server role
installed on the DC you keep

- if you have installed DNS server role on the other DC do not forget to
reconfigure the clients to use it as preferred DNS

- on the DC with now transferred PDCEmulator role configure it a s a time
server:
w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:peers /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update

With "peers" you can set the time source, either DNS name (time.windows.com)
or an ip address from a reliable time source.

Here you can find some of them:
http://www.pool.ntp.org/

- on the old DC run to remove time server role:
w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update

After that run:
net stop w32time
net start w32time

- export and import of DHCP database (if needed) (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325473)

- backup WINS (if needed) (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc727901.aspx)

- restore WINS (if needed) (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc727960.aspx)

Now i think all steps should be done to start demoting:

- reconfigure your clients/servers that they not longer point to the old
DC/DNS server on the NIC

- to be sure that everything runs fine, disconnect the old DC from the network
and check with clients and servers the connectivity, logon and also with
one client a restart to see that everything is ok

- then run dcpromo to demote the old DC, if it works fine the machine will
move from the DC's OU to the computers container, where you can delete it
by hand. Can be that you got an error during demoting at the beginning, then
uncheck the Global catalog on that DC and try again

- check the DNS management console, that all entries from the machine are
disappeared or delete them by hand if the machine is off the network for ever

- also you have to start AD sites and services and delete the old servername
under the site, this will not be done during demotion

Hello E-Double,

On a DC you do not have Local users and groups, that is stored in AD now.
During demoting you are prompted to configure a new password for the administrator
account. That new password you can use to logon local to the server when
it is demoted. Or you can ofcourse use the domain administrator account.

Before setting the member server in a workgroup i suggest to reconfigure
the LOCAL administrator with a blank password. The last time i set a domain
member server to workgroup i had to reset the password with a bootdisk. the
previous configured local admin password was not accepted.

Best regards

p.s. What logon information will we use when this machine gets demoted
? We do not remember the original Admin account and password when
this was originally set-up, and there does not appear to be a Computer
Management/Local Users & Groups applet on here since it is a DC. TIA

Why do you have replication disabled and how long has it been that way? If
beyond the tombstone lifetime then you are going to just have to flatten
this dc (/forcedemote).
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/332199

You also have service naming issues (dns). It is as if the two names refer
to one. What is going on with dns on the two? Do an ipconfig /all on both
dc's and post them. If you want to change part of the octets, that is fine
just use consistentcy.

You may want to run the following as well:
dnslint /ad /s "ip address of your dc"

Hi Paul, thanks for the reply. We did not actually disable replication - but
it appears that that process starting having errors about two months ago for
some reason. I am not sure what caused the DNS errors either, but we did the
/forceremove option and also ran the Ntdsutil utility to remove this DC and
then just made it a member server and everything seems fine now. We will
wait a day or two and run the dcdiag util again as well as the dns diags you
mentioned, but hopefully we are good.

I am not sure what happened to this one machine, but it could not even
connect to remote hosts outside of the domain that it had been connecting to
for years. Weird ...

Anyways, thanks again everybody for all your help - much appreciated !

You also have service naming issues (dns). It is as if the two names refer
to one. What is going on with dns on the two? Do an ipconfig /all on both
dc's and post them. If you want to change part of the octets, that is fine
just use consistentcy.

You may want to run the following as well:
dnslint /ad /s "ip address of your dc"
