DCPROMO Warning
I have several DC's at my site and am trying to decommission one of them. I have removed all roles and services except for Domain Services. It is a GC as are the other ones at my site. During the DCPROMO I left the check box blank for: "Delete the domain because this server is the last domain controller in the domain".
When I click next I receive this warning: " You did not indicate that this Active Directory domain controller is the last domain controller for the domain xxxxx.com". "Do you want to proceed anyway"?
Should I select yes?

perfect - I confirmed that disabled it as a GC. Do I need to wait for replication? Should I restart the box before attempting to DCPROMO it and removing it?
Thanks for the help.
Thanks for the help.
Yes I would just to make sure the GC is not functioning always a good practice after making this kind of a change
