Hi,

Murphy rules again. An old Windows 2003 server was the first DC in the AD.
It was schema master, etc. The new server arrived this week but... the old
one quit yesterday with a repeated STOP 0x0000007B error. I cannot get it
back up, I cannot even access the disks using a tool like BartPE.

There is a Windows 2003 DC2 server in the same domain that I want to give
all FSMO's. Doing that it rather straight forward as far as I know, but... I
still need to delete the crashed DC1 from the domain. Which KB describes all
the steps? I cannot find it?
