Issue removing Active Directory Domain Services from a DC
I have a 2008 server that crashed on us. I restored the server as a VM from a backup image we had. I was trying to run dcpromo to remove this server as a DC. I get an error that, The operation failed because: Active Directory Domain Services could not transfer the remaining data in the directory partition. Access is denied. I cannot force replication in AD Sites and Services. Is there anything else I can try to gracefully remove this DC?
