[Guest]

Hello

We have one NT4.0 BDC left in our 2000AD environment and would like ot retir
ethe server now. I am having trouble finding any related articles which
explain how to demote this server. I assume that dcpromo will not work on a
NT4.0 machine.

We are not planning on keeping this server as a memebr server or even
keeping the hardware for that matter.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Mark Clark

Turn it off.
Format the drive.
Move on.



With an NT 4.0 BDC you can just kill it and make sure that there isn't a
computer account left over in the AD Users and Computers interface.
