I had the same issues and this worked for me.

- Open DNS and set the Dynamic Updates to "nonsecure and secure".
- Exit DNS
- try your demotion again.
If that fails, go to a DOS window and type:
net stop netlogon <enter>
When it stops type:
net start netlogon <enter>

Try your demotion again and it should be fine.
