Is the Server in question that you need to remove, does this hold any FSMO Roles? If so you need to seize the Roles as you will not be able to transfer them. You can use the Ntdsutil.exe from the command prompt to seize the Roles, refer to link below.<br />

Also, make sure that one of the other Domain Controllers is a Global Catalog Server.<br />

You can follow this link below to remove the dead Domain Controller.<br />

Additional DC

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
