Hello,

We have a Windows 2000 domain with 2 DC. One of them crashed and we bought a
new hardware and Windows 2003 Server to replace it. But I can't in no way to
remove the account of the failed DC from AD and when I try to add the new
server with the same name as the failed one into the domain, I got an error:

"The specified user already exists"

Do one knows how can I remove all data, related to the failed DC from AD, so
I could add a new DC with the same name? I have already used NTDSUTIL and
removed the failed server from the site, but it seems this is not enough.

Thanks,
George
