Did the now-defunct server hold any of the FSMO roles?
If it did, you must use NDISUTIL to seize those roles to the existing DC,
and then you can simply delete the old DC's account from Active Directory
using the ADU&C Snap-In.
If it does not hold any FSMO roles, simply deleting the account will work.
One other thing: if the still-surviving server is not a Global Catalog
server, I would make it one so that people can log on correctly...
Hope this helps,

Subject: [windows2000] How to remove the DC in Active Directory when
offline?
Hello Guys,
This is my scenario. I have my 2 DC existing in my network, but one of my
DC (BDC) gets offline due to hardware (Hard Disk) failure and can not
recover the hard disk anymore. It means my 2nd DC can't be restored
forever. However i still have one DC (the original DC) working. My
question is, is there a tool in microsoft or step-by-step procedures/way to
remove/demote my 2nd DC in Active Directory considering that it is offline,
using my existing 1st DC?
Pls help me guys with this problem.
Thanks!
Paul
