Our Engineer left our company and I've taken the roles for him. I noticed
that there are several domain controllers that were retired and were never
demoted. I get errors from our current domain controllers stating that they
cannot connect and replicate to those old DC. How do I manually remove them?
I've tried using the ntdsutil but cannot connect to those servers unless
they're online which wont' happen since those old DC were formatted and used
for something else. Do I simply rebuild those servers with the same server
name and then demote it?
2nd question is regarding a new DC that was built by our other Engineer.
After promoting and updating with the latest patch, it now hangs at
"preparing your network connections" during boot up. I was able to boot via
safe mode and checked the event log and the event id was: 16650. What's the
best method to resolve this issue? Simply scrath it and rebuild it?
I appreciate all of your answers!
