Re: Demoting a domain controller
We currently have 2 domain controllers in our network.
I am trying to demote a domain controller through the AD wizard.
When I click in finish in the wizard and it starts the demotion process, I am the following message:
The operation failed:
Managing the network session with the servername failed.
Logon failure: the target account name is incorrect.
Please can someone assist.
Thanks in advance.

You should not be asked to provide a name for the machine, but if you are give it one that has neaver been used before.
Make sure that hte computers account in the AD is still there and not disabled.
You could try renaming the machine before running DCPROMO, but make sure that all important data is backed up first!
Personally i would just rebuild it!
