I am having a problem deactivating an LCS 2005 installtion on a member server within the domain. THe server hasn;t been playing properly for a while now and has been giving some strange AD errors so I'm looking to deactivate LCS and demote the server (as it's a DC on the domain).
Problem is that when I try uninstalling LCS I'm prompted to deactive it first. When I try deactivating it (by opening the LCS 2005 window) I receive the following error:
Live Communication Server Snap-in cannot insert the child nodes. Restart Microsoft Management Console (MMC), and then try again
with the Event Viewer I see the following related errors:

I've reset the LCSService account (as I thought it may be password related) but no joy. I've even tried the domain admin but the same thing happens.
Any help is appreciated.
