Would like to remove a domain controller that does not exist more in my net.
How and possible? A machine in my domain existed who was an additional
controller of exactly. This machine burnt processor and with this would like
to raise other machine with the same name (this because I have services
associates to this name), so that the not accepted W2Ks because this name
already consists registered in it activates directory. When trying to
exclude this machine the AD ones shows the message: Object DSA cannot be
deleted. Thanks the aid of all, Leonardo
 
If the server in question held any of the operations master roles then you
will need to seize those roles first. You may use Microsoft Knowledge Base
article 255504 "Using Ntdsutil.exe to seize or transfer FSMO roles to a
domain controller" (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=255504)

Next would be to perform a metadata cleanup to remove the invalid
information from active directory. You may follow Microsoft Knowledge Base
article 216498 "How to remove data in Active Directory after an
unsuccessful domain" (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=216498)
