Server no longer in domain but it is trying to pull the group policy from server

Asked by dcitdir in Windows 2000 Server

If I try and do a gpupdate I get the following error.  Updating Policy...

User policy could not be updated successfully. The following errors were encount
ered:

The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows attempted to read the file \\domain\SysVol\domain\Policies\{BAF0A64A-6A28-406
3-90FA-21EDFA61E1F8}\gpt.ini from a domain controller and was not successful. Gr
oup Policy settings may not be applied until this event is resolved. This issue
may be transient and could be caused by one or more of the following:
a) Name Resolution/Network Connectivity to the current domain controller.
b) File Replication Service Latency (a file created on another domain controller
 has not replicated to the current domain controller).
c) The Distributed File System (DFS) client has been disabled.

c) The Distributed File System (DFS) client has been disabled.

To diagnose the failure, review the event log or invoke gpmc.msc to access infor
mation about Group Policy results.


What can I do to correctly remove this server from the domain and get the group policy set to one of the other domain controllers?
