If you are trying to demote the DC, creating a workgroup (peer-to-peer) and
loosing all your Active Directory setting, run DCPROMO /ForceRemoval

Thanx for responding.It should go smoothly once i have all
the priviledge to remove it .I also want my all records to
be in the other domain controller.This domai controller is
holding the roles of schema master and the one more role
as a RId mater .IF i am trying to transfer these records
it is giving me the error of unable to find RID master .


I am also getting the sam error id
