Dcpromo is failing....
Active directory could not transfer the remaining data in directory partition DC=DomainDNSZones to Domain controller \\server02.mydomain.com.
The directory service was unable to transfer ownership of one or more floating single-maser operation roles to other services.
I have already transfered all FSMO roles sucessfully and removed Exchange from this server as well. I just need to demote it and then reinstall the OS and re add it to the domain. I would rather not do a forced removal as I do not know how that would effect the domain.
