"thought" I removed all 2000 DCs from the forest. Upgrade forest and all
domains to 2003 function level.



Now I noticed one of the child domains has one of the windows 2000
server showing up as a DC in ADUC. The computer is still used for other
applications.

When I run dcpromo on it, it looks like it thinks its currently NOT a
DC.



If the server was dead and gone, I'd just remove the AD object and clean
up via Adsiedit



But since it's still used I can't really delete the object, but its
still in the domain controllers OU. But not in the AD sites and
services.

You could just move the computer account out to a different OU...
