Hiya,
I have an S4 domain running that I added another S4 machine to as an
extra domain controller. That machine, unfotunately died (quite
spectacularly I must say, think magic blue smoke). I would like to
remove the dead domain controller from the domain.
In ADUC I can see the DC under 'Domain Controllers' but when I try to
delete it (having ticked the 'permanently offline' box) I get the
following error:
"Windows cannot delete object
LDAP://tainan.internal.stmaryscollege.co.uk/CN=PEFW01,OU=Domain
Controllers,DC=internal,DC=stmaryscollege,DC=co,DC=uk because:
The specified module could not be found."
Is there a command line tool that I could try (samba-tool doesn't seem
to have an option to remove the machine).
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Alex

Just to note, I have seen the same problem deleting "real" Windows Server
DCs with rc4 and rc5. The first time I try deleting the DC via ADUC, I get
the error:
*Windows cannot delete object
LDAP://10.1.1.254/CN=ADC2,OU=DomainControllers,DC=internal,DC=testdom,DC=com
because:
The parameter is incorrect.
On subsequent tries, the following error is displayed:
Windows cannot delete object
LDAP://10.1.1.254/CN=ADC2,OU=DomainControllers,DC=internal,DC=testdom,DC=com
because:
The specified module could not be found.*
*
*
*My testing has shown that Windows Servers often fail to demote in various
circumstances, so a solution to remove them from AD would be very useful.*

Hi all,
Sorry to bump my own thread but are there any suggestions for this issue?
Thanks,

We are aware of some issues in this area, but feel free to file a bug.
We are focussing on getting 4.0 out at the moment, but I would like to
have a force demote utility in the future, as well as sorting these
issues out. To do it properly (particularly live) is actually quite
difficult, there are a lot of steps that should be done to ensure the DC
being demoted has no FSMO roles left and knows it is demoted.
