Please don't mis-read me, I just wanted to make sure. I have a mixed eniroment of 2003 domain controlles which have the roles, and some 2008 DC which are joined to the domain.<br />

I get ...delete all active directory partitions on this active directory domain controller<br />
<br />
As well as the delete DNS question
