Hello I have a DC that has not update it database in 4 months.

I tried reseting the password for the principal and changing the one
parmater using adsiedit.msc but no look

now i have error 404, which suggest to restore from backup. But there
is not backup of this remote controller's registry. Can I remove active
directory using dc promo and then add it again? what is the best way to
install activediretory in this server? Medata clean with ntdsutil ?
 
Unfortunately, the issue described by you is not clear. I would appreciate
if you could answer the questions mentioned below:

1. How many DCs do you have in your network?
2. When you say that the DC has not updated the Database, are you referring
to AD Replication?
3. Based on the error number (404), it seems to be an IIS error message
when the html page is not found. Please confirm if you are referring to IIS
issue and not AD issue.

You have lost this dc. Even if you got it to work the tombstone period has
lapsed and changes since it was last online would not be fully propagated.

Demote it (Forcibly if you have to) and then repromote.

Thanks it looks like removing with /force and cleaning up with sites
and servervices and adsi worked.
 
We have a fortigate 60, it does a decent job. I dont use the fortigate
60 for nothing else than antivirus scan of ftp http pop imap and smtp
traffic.
