Cannot demote dc - Last DNS server for zone
Hi, having trouble demoting a domain controller (2008 integrated DNS)
I get an error complaining about this dc being the last dns for the following ad integrated zone.
This is a primary zone (not the same domain that the dc itself is on), ad integrated, accepting secure and non-secure updates.
thnks.

You cannot have a DNS zone stored in AD if the DNS server is not a domain controller.
This is why you are receiving the error when trying to DCPROMO

Why would you want to do a forceremoval, it's a failry simply fix!!
As mentioned - worst case scenario only if the DC will not demote gracefully.
But the reason it will not demote gracefully is because it has a zone on it which is AD integrated, it's a simple fix.
