Scenario:

I got two Win2003 DCs and I want to remove first DC from the domain. I made
second DC to be a global catalog server and removed this functionalirty for
first DC.

Can you point me in right direction -- I want to remove first windows 2003
DC in site and have my second DC be the only DC in network.

When I run DCPROMO it tells me I need to run NDSUTIL.

When I ran that util I get stuck at :

remove nc replica DC=root, DC=xxxx,DC=com

I get: "Ldap error, no such object"


What an I missing?


if you can tell me what I am missing or if you can point me to right
documentation -- I will be very thankfull.

here is the link to the M$ page I have followed with no success:

Has dns been configured on the second dc so it has a copy of everything, and
where are both of these pointing for dns.
Is the ldap error a "bind" error with an error code associated with it?
Afraid that we need a bit more info here on exactly what error message/s
your seeing when you run dcpromo. Look in the event logs for errors that
happen at the same time you try to demote, and also at the Bottom of the
dcpromo.log file to see what errors etc are in the last 10 lines or so.
thanks
