I had to do dcpromo /forceeremoval of a domain controller and I would like to clean up any remainss of this server in my Active Directory.<br />
I tried Adsiedit but when I try to delete the server name I get an error : Operation failed error code 0x5 &nbsp;Access denied. &nbsp; problem 4003 insufficient access rights.<br />
<br />
How can I solve this problem to be able to delete this server?<br />
<br />
I used default naming context in ADSIEDIT.<br />
<br />
Thanks
