Hi Anuj,

I have had similar problem before and, if I remember well, I tried
restarting the server and ensured that it wasnt being accessed by the other
controllers in the forest.

Then I used the dcpromo /forceremoval
which gracefully demoted the server afterwards.

You should try and use the /forceremoval

Hope this is helpful.
