I have a problem which has been bothering me for some time now...
I have a remote windows server 2003 which was once part of an old deprecated domain, the problem is that I need to unjoin it from the domain, when trying this I get an error messege that the 'domain controller cannot be contacted' etc. After googling I found a claimed way to force it using winbatch but alas this did not work either.
Does anyone know of a way to unjoin it without getting it from the remote site and doing a fresh install?

A fresh install is something you would never want to do in this situation.
It appears being on the remote site that there is no communication between it and Active Directory, specifically the server containing the schema FSMO role.
Your only choice now is to clean up the corrupt AD metadata.
