Demote Window 2012 DC
Hello,
I have recently added and promoted a new 2012 R2 DC in a Windows 2008 R2 environement
Everything went fine regarding this DC promotion. No replication errors
For different reasons not related to this promotion I need to re-format this server. After reformating this server I will need to promote it again as a new DC
Questions:
- How do I demote the server (dcpromo do not exist in Windows 2012 R2? )
- can I give the server the same name or better give a new name ?
Thank you
