can someone please tell me where i can find information on
retiring a domain controller from a win2k domain?...the DC
i want to take out is, the very first server that was
added to my win2k AD domain.....

I had already moved all of the 5 fsmo roles to another the
server i am replacing it with....Is their anyhing else i
should do?, and is there a way i can make sure that no
roles are running on the server?

thank you
 
Hi Rob,

You can just run DCPromo on the server that you want to retire and it will
take care of everything for you.

The article below explains how to verify the FSMO role holders so you can
make sure the DC you want to retire has none of the 5 FSMO roles.
