Are they going to be repurposed (wiped and reloaded) or just tossed? If so, I would just leave them offline and remove any references to them in the current AD environment.

I have the 2 W2k dc's off-line right now. I want to demote both. My question is: since the W2K dc's have been off-line for a while, should I bring them on-line and then leave it be for a while so the fRS can complete or I can bring it on-line and run dc-promo right away? Note that DNS is not running on the W2K dc's; that was moved to the W2003. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
