I have a very old (white box) Windows 2003 SP2 Domain Controller that I would like to decomission. It does not hold any of the FSMO roles, but IS a DNS server.
I have another 2003 SP2 Domain Controller that DOES hold all FSMO rolls and is also a DNS server. What is the best (cleanest) way to remove the old server? Run DCPROMO on the white box and demote it to a member server, then remove it from the domain? Any other steps? What do I do about DNS? Should I remove DNS first, then demote it and remove it from the domain? It isn't running any other services. Just is a secondary domain controller and DNS server.
