Scott, Thanks for steer to log file. In there is "Failed to prepare the directory services for uninstallation (1908)", but no joy in TechNet for that one.

Running netdiag /v though is completely clean. Has anyone on the list stumbled into the less than obvious in this situation. The child domain went in fine using W2000 DNS on the ADS root machines but we cannot get it back out.
