remove additional domain controllar


i have parent domain controller , additional 1 in same site i want try remove additional domain controller , recived masseg

" operation failed because :

the domain controller not contacted domain -my domain name- contained account computer

make computer member of workgroup , rejoin domain befor rtrying promotion "

" the specified domain either not exist or cpuld not contacted"

if, understand correctly parent domain controller means want primary domain controller & additional domain controller other domain controller in same site & want rid off demoting & repromote it.

the easiest way dcpromo /forceremoval requires additional step of metadata cleanup, since graceful demotion not working in scenario.

i request prior demoting adc, make sure transfer/seize(seize done in disaster recovery scenario & once seize fsmo role dc can put though working fine & option bring remove ad & delete ad references, followed metadata cleanup reconfigure server dc) roles fsmo,dhcp or other role prior demotion.

steps perform metadata cleanup.
