How do I remove Active Directory (AD) if the demotion failed?

If the demotion failed when you removed AD from a Windows 2000 domain controller (DC) to convert the DC to a member server, try the following approach:

1. Use regedt32 to navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControl\ProductOptions.
2. Change the ProductType's data value from LanmanNT to ServerNT. (Use the exact case.)
3. Shut down and restart the server.
4. Delete the NTDS folder.
