After Removing DNS ---> It's still in the Event Viewer !

Hi guys;

I did try that recently (because I changed the machine name) and it
gave me a new profile. The first thing I did was check the event
viewer - and same thing.

The only conclusion I can come down to is that that information is
also stored somewhere else on the system and that it probably has
something to do with this machine previsouly being an active
directory domain controller.

The more I go along the more I think that Ace is right, a format is
probably going to be the only way to resolve this issue. I'm going to
consider that in the future but the server is solid - always has been
and had never had any junk installed on it.

Anyway - thanks guys. I appreciate the length of time you all spent
on this issue and your efforts to help with a solution.

Best;
Marvin

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, Marvin.

Are you kidding? Your help was great and thorough - so thanks very much
I think we've got it well done to the point where everything possible (and
logical) has been tried so I'm OK with that

I suspect I'll probably end up following your advice and format the thing in
the near future. I need to reconfigure the RAID array on it and for reasons
too hard to explain it would be easier if I could just wipe it out and start
over.

So I probably will - and that will take care of it once and for all

Best & thanks for your efforts;

No problem for the attempt. I usually like clean installs, and have
followed that religiously in many installations. I know it's a PITA (pain in
the butt), but it gets rid of the old and start fresh with the new...
