seized all roles - still cannot run dcprmo

[Guest nobody]

I am having a problem with one of my dcs (dc1). So on dc2 i ran ntdsutil and

seized all 5 roles.

 

now on dc1 when i try to run dcpromo to uninstall ad

 

it gives me an error

 

The operation failed because:

 

Active Directory could not transfer the remaining data in directory

partition

...... to domain controller dc2

 

The source server is currently rejecting replication requests

 

 

any idea?

Hello NoBoDy,

 

Please do not open always new postings without the complete situation what

you have done. This is now the 3rd posting about a story NOBODY here can

follow, because you don't post what you have done before (ghosting a dc,

adding additional dc to domain, shutdown one dc from the domain, installing

the ghost image and wondering about that the new dc is missing and trying

to bring the domain running again).

 

Doing it on this way you can not get good information and people here thinking

about a problem without knowing the story.

 

So please use one posting for one story so that everybody here can follow

you. And this question belongs to the postings with subject "Problem" in

this NG and "Missing A record on DNS serve" in microsoft.windows.public.win2000.dns

 

Best regards

Have you tried dcpromo with the /forceremove switch?

Re: seized all roles - still cannot run dcprmo

 

you are saying I should run this on the physical DC1? right now I took my

ghosted virtual machine dc offline.

 

I brought back the physical dc1 online but that is having problems with

replications with dc2.

 

I have seized and transfered all roles to dc2. but dcpromo on dc1 is getting

error saying source server is rejecting replication requests

 

should i run /dcpromo /forceremove a last option?
