Installation and Upgrades / Removing dead domain controllers
« on: August 20, 2013, 01:38:21 pm »
I am experimenting with a Zentyal (3.0.2, core version 3.0.25, community) only multi domain controller network and I want to be able to completely remove a failed and unrecoverable additional domain controller from the PDC.
I am testing this as part of my company's disaster recovery planning process.
I think I have tried all of the recommended ways to do this including ntdsutil, active directory sites and services and active directory users and computers but none of them work as billed, all producing errors and not removing all of the references to the "dead" controller from AD.
Has anyone actually managed to completely remove a dead ADC from the domain and then added a newly built machine with the same name back? If so, can you point me to any documentation that shows how to do this?
