DC depromote

Comment:

Hello all, I had a domain under win2k, and i wanted to change the server for a new computer. So i make the second computer a DC. I transfered all from the first one tio the new one, but now, i have to depromote the old one to delete it from the domain, but i can't !! when dcpromo search for the new.domain.com computer, it say "network path not found"... and it's true, i can acces the computer by "\\new", but not by "\\new.domain.com", and i can't acces the domain by "\\domain.com"... Can anyone help me to resolve this name problem ?? PS : all computers are in static IPs, and all work fine....
