We use Active Directory-integrated DNS zone. I had a DC crash. I have removed it using ntdsutil. It was also had DNS and DHCP on it. What is the best way to remove the missing DNS server?

How do I remove it from DHCP?



"If the removed DC was a DNS server, update the DNS client configuration on all member workstations, member servers, and other DCs that might have used this DNS server for name resolution. If it is required, modify the DHCP scope to reflect the removal of the DNS server." I know that, but how?

"If the removed DC was a DNS server, update the Forwarder settings and the Delegation settings on any other DNS servers that might have pointed to the removed DC for name resolution." Does this mean, I have to remove them one by one? Can I remove them on one DC and it replacate to the others?

Sorry so many question, but I'd rather ask them now, instead of later. :)

Thanks, your help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
DJ
