I have a Mixed Domain. Two Windows 2000 Domain Controller, and one Windows NT Backup Domain. Yesterday one of the Windows 2000 Domain controller failed. Motherboard Error. The machine will be replaced. However the windows 2000 domain controller shows an error/warning by trying to sync updates and it is not finding the second windows 2000 domain controller.<br />
<br />
Active Directory still shows the second domain controller. <br />
<br />
Is there anyway to manually clean this up?

How to Remove a Domain Controller manually?

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
