I have a server that is a child domain. I want to get rid of the child domain and make this server a file server of the parent domain. There are no users in the child domain that I need anymore. How would I accomplish this?

thanks
 
When you demote the last dc in the domain it should tell you that it's killing the domain and remove all the trusts to and from it.

When you remove it from the child domain, the server may not recognize the parent domain and be in a stand alone state. I'm concerned you may have issues on NTFS and share permissions belonging to domain accounts in this condition. Once it is joined to the parent domain as a member server, things should straighten out.
