Two options I see you having.
First is that the roles did not transfer properly, so perhaps you might
try seizing them.
Second I assume you have stopped and started netlogon on both servers to
ensure that DNS has been updated with the correct SRV entries. And that
you have checked the replmon tool to verify that all partitions are up
to date.
If these have been done then I would consider a corruption of Netlogon.
This is part of the NIC MIcrosoft Client Services, which allows the
connection to the domain. Perhaps try reinstalling TCP/IP on the server
with the problem.
Another thought is that you will now have the Infrastructure master on a
GC. That is a bad configuration and when you try and contact it for
domain information it does not return all the desired results. Since a
GC has a very cut down version of the DC data even though it is a DC.
Stop the second server from being a GC temporarily. Replicate this
updates and then retry.

Dear All
I have 2 domain controller in my organization, and I want to remove the
first domain controller for this and add it later on,
What I did I transfer the 5 FSMO roles from the first to the seconded
domain controller and also I made the 2nd domain controller as GC, I
remove it from the first one. In the same I did for also DNS.
I try to dcpromo down the first domain controller I am getting this
error
The Operation Failed because :
A domain controller could not be contacted for the domain abc.com that
contained an account for this computer.
Make the computer a member of a workgroup then rejoin the domain before
retrying the promotion.
" the specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted."
Any Help will be appreciated
Regards
Qusai
