I need to remove a DC that no longer exists from AD. The servers are all
2003 standard servers. There are two domain controllers that run DHCP, DNS
and AD.

I found and intend to follow:
"How to remove data in Active Directory after an unsuccessful domain
controller demotion"
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=216498

Procedure 1 Step 5 wants a server name to connect to. Would this be my
primary domain controller?

Do I run this procedure on my primary domain controller only or on both of
my domain controllers?

Hi,

Michael provided the right information. However, please note:If you use the
ADSI Edit snap-in, the LDP utility, or any other LDAP version 3 client, and
you incorrectly modify the attributes of Active Directory objects, you can
cause serious problems.

Let me know if you still have problem in this issue.


Best regards,
