remove of DC without demote...

[Cor]

Hi all,

We had to close down an office very quickly, and it was not possible for me
to remove the DC by demoting it. Unfortunately we cannot get to the server
as well, and I want to remove it from my domain. It there any way of
removing the DC nicely in our situation (without having the possibility to
remove it with dcpromo)?

Any help is appreciated,

Thanks,
Cor
