Retiring an old server

I have 3 servers running active directory. I would like to take one of the
old ones off line. Is there anything special that needs to be done, or can
I just "flip the switch"

If it's important, the machine that is being retired was originally a NT4
PDC box that was upgraded to 2000 active directory, then the other 2 new
servers were added later.

Thanks.

Hi Rob,

if you are using EFS in your domain you also should export the recovery agent
certificate and import it on the other DCs. It's per default just on the first
domain controller.
