Can't Demote DC 2

[ConradS1]

I am trying to demote a DC, but it isn't happening...

I am getting the following error message:

The Operation Failed
Managing the network session with DC1.domainname.com Failed

Logon Failure: The target account name is incorrect.


Any help you can give would be great.

Thanks

Conrad

Sorry...

This is a Windows 2000 Server.


Thanks

On a lark, are your DNS settings correct on this DC?

 

[JBruyet]

Is the DC you're demoting "DC1" or another domain controller?

Thanks,

Thanks for trying I appreciate it.

This morning after rebooting the Main Server (DC1) and the Secondary Server (DC2), I was able to then demote DC2.

Well, if anyone ever has this problem again... We'll have one more thing to try (early on) before we rack our brains.

Thanks again
