Did you grant yourself Enterprise Admin rights along with Domain Admin =
rights? If not, assign yourself to group.
DHCP does not need to running on a DC.
Yes 5 DCs is a little much for a small network with 7 servers total.

Subject: [windows2000] Demoting one of my DC's is taking a long time
We have a small network of 7 Windows 2000 Servers, 5 of which are domain =
=3D
controllers. I am trying to demote one of the DC's (which also happens =
=3D
to be our DHCP server, but I don't think that will hurt. I hope I'm =3D
correct about that.) =3D20
Anyway, dcpromo has been cooking now for a little over 2 hours. It goes =
=3D
about trying to replicate changes to the other DC's in the network, and =
=3D
then it will stop with a New Credentials dialog box that says this:
************
"The operation failed because the attempt to configure the machine =3D
account OLDDC$ on server <different-DC-server>.company.com failed. =3D
'Access is denied'.
Specify an account with Enterprise Administrator privileges to the =3D
forest 'company.com'."
************
And then there are three labels with three textboxes, one for the =3D
username, and another for the password and the third for the domain. As =
=3D
I indicate in the text of the dialog box, the DC server that the failure =
=3D
occurs on does change, leading me to think that it might be working OK. =
=3D
The server changes to each of the different DC's in the network. But it =
=3D
IS taking quite a long time and it keeps going back to DC servers that =
=3D
it has already gotten this error message on.
I'd like to know if this is normal and to be expected, or if I've got a =
=3D
problem?
