If it didn't serve any of the FSMO roles or DHCP I would just bring up a new box and remove references for the old with NTDSUTIL as was already mentioned.

How critical is it getting this box up and running? Any FSMO roles? Main DNS server? Only DHCP server? Any support from Dell left or is it out of warranty? Do you have another machine that you can temporarily bring up to support this role until you can get the old one fixed?

Hi all One of my DC's went down today. When i got to the data center it was in windows and completely frozen... I had to hard boot the system and when it came back up it stopped loading windows. I tried all safe mode it goes through the boot up process and then dies when it tries to load acpitabl.dat file... If i try to load a windows 2003 CD it freezes once it says loading windows at the bottom. In this box i have a scisi controller with 2 one has oS the other data. If i try to load the scisi driver it tells me windows has one and then crashes when windows loading comes up at the bottom. Any ideas? Its a Dell Poweredge 2600 windows 2003 standard.
