remove dfs from the domain

[logiplex]

Hi,

I have a 2012 server which was a dc and still running dfs.

It has been demoted and ready to be scrapped but still has the dfs installed.

 

As the dfs is part of AD in a forest how do we remove this? We no longer need to use it all in the network so is it simply deleting the name spaces and then remove the role from the server?

I believe so the actual DFS config can be found via ADSIedit. When a namespace is removed it is removed from AD.

I've never bothered, it shouldn't be hosting a shared copy of sysvol even if the service is running. Shouldn't show in adsi edit now, you can check this under the configuration tree.
