Removing a DC form Active Directory

[dpmjr]

I need to know how to remove a WinNT 4.0 BDC from Active
Directory. The BDC is no longer around and I'd like to
get it out of AD. It is showing up under Domain
Controllers

Thanks

Hi Dante-

Attempt to remove if from the list of DCs container in ADUC. Also do a
cleanup via NTDSUTIL.

For NT4 BDC you can just delete the machine account.
If you get the error message that the DSA can not be deleted the you may
have to change the useraccountcontrol attribute
See article for steps on setting useraccountcontrol. It is toward the end of
the article. .
