| How do I uninstall Active directory in Windows 2003 if server will not boot in normal mode? I hope someone can help.... I have my exchange server 2003 running on the second domain controller with Windows 2003 installed. My first domain controller (windows 2003) is running fine. However the active directory is corrupt on my exchange server and " I get error Directory Services cannot start...Error status Oxc00002E1.... Please click OK to shut down this system.... http://support/microsoft.com/kb/258062 applies here. I have tried everything in the article but still end up with corrupt AD. I only want my Exchange server back on line so loosing AD on this server is no problem. Does anyone know how to remove AD manually or otherwise because DCPROMO will not run in AD Services restore mode and I cannot login successfuly into the server anyother way. If it helps, I have another partition that I have now install Windows 2003 and I can access the original boot partition as well as the main DC thanks |

You can't dcpromo an Exchange/AD server combo once on 200/2003. Your best bet to recover all this is to bring Exchange up on another server and recover the mailboxes to this new server. Remove Exchange then dcpromo this DC. I'm not an Exchange expert so I have copied the Exchange NewsGroup in on this, check the link below. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822179 Need more information. What do you mean by "uninstall my active directory"?? What steps are you trying to take? |

The poster has several replies (one of which is mine) to this identical message in the m.p.windows.server.active_directory group. Or try umove from utools I don't believe that's officially supported by MS. When iam trying to uninstall my active directory iam getting "The server is unwilling to process the request"error |
