AD Sites and Services

[david theilman]

Hello:

I have a server listed here that is not a domain controller and never was,
it is simple file server.

For some reason, my two other servers that are DC's think that this server
is a DC. This is causing replication errors in the event logs. Under the two
DC's I deleted that server name under NTDS Settings, but after sometime,
this non-DC appears again.

Under AD Sites and Services, can I just right click on this server that is
not a DC and delete it safely? Will it remove it from the domain as if I
deleted it from Users and Computers?

Thanks in Advance

David

Hello David,

Under the server object in sites and services is there a child node called
NTDS Settings, if there is not, you can safely delete the server object.

IF for some reason all else fails you can disjoin the server from the
domain and use :
216498 How To Remove Data in Active Directory After an Unsuccessful Domain
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=216498

to remove it from the A/D

then re-join it to the domain
