I
recommend running dcpromo, then uninstall DNS. I also recommend checking
with the hardware manufacturer first to determine if any updated hardware
drivers are available for the system. Most BSODs are caused by bad
hardware drivers, then by bad hardware.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Rebuilding a DC/DNS Server
We have a domain controller/adi dns server that has not been behaving lately (blue screened a couple of times). I am going to rebuild the system.
Here is my question: Should I uninstall DNS before running dcpromo, or run dcpromo first and then remove DNS?
I'm sure there are other paramaters to consider, and I have not provided a detailed plan, just curious about this paticular order.
Thanks!
