Demoted server, now no net logon service

[Guest tke402]

Hi,

 

I demoted a dc in my domain to a member server. Now the net logon service

does not start. This is also causing the windows time service and other

services to not start. The demotion was clean and successful and I removed

all remaining service records from DNS (the server was also a DNS server with

AD intergrated zones). I have also uninstalled DNS from the machine. Any

ideas what is keeping net logon from starting?

All the errors in the event logs are issues that trace back to the netlogon

service not starting but nothing tells me what is causing the netlogon

service to not start.

 

Thanks,

 

TKE402

Hello tke402,

 

Try removing the machine from domain and rejoin.

Thanks for the reply.

 

Will doing that effect the shares (permissions) that are on the machine?

Will they have to be recreated and ACL'd?

Hello tke402,

 

The permissions you can keep if you make a backup from the data and save

it on another server in the domain. With NTbackup also the scurity permission

will be backed up. The only thing you have to recreate is the share itself

and then restore the backup.

 

Best regards
