AD error ??

WARNING LOAD QUESTION

I have two DC (windows2k servers)on my network, server2
seems to have failed to connect properly to server1 and I
believe has a FRS replication error as well.

First Discovery happened on server2
Could not get the network shares even when accessed by
\\server1\netlogon an error comes back as 'Logon
Failure: The target account name is incorrect.' I can
access the server1 via \\192.168.1.70\netlogon however.

Second Discovery happened on server1
I ran Active Directory Replication Monitor from the
2000server support tool disk. It showed me an error with
the Monitored server1 and server2. Then in that program
I did a Action|Domain|Search Domain Controllers for
replication errors. Well I ran the report on my domain
and got DC Name:server1 | Directory Partition:listed
normal CN and DC stuff | Replication partenerefault-
First-Site-Name\server2 | Failure code 5 | Failure
reason:Access is denied, Then under the DC Name:server2 |
Directory Partition: ERROR reading partition:CN=Schema,
CN=Configuration, DC=domainname, DC=com....and 3 more
lines of similar errors.

Third Discovery happened on server1
I could not reset the account for server2

Fourth Discover happened on server2
I could not use DCPROMO to Remove this server from the
Domain, it came back with the error 'Logon Failure: The
target account name is incorrect.'

MY QUESTION.
How do I recover from this...I am not sure how to take
this server2 offline, its basically worthless to me now
and I wanted to make it an ftp server or something...but
a standalone. I also wanted to clean up the errors on
server1 because I am bringing in a windows 2003 DC.

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!!
