Any ideas on why i get this? :

The operation failed because:

Active Directory Domain Services could not transfer the remaining data in directory partition CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=123,DC=456,DC=co,DC=uk to
Active Directory Domain Controller DC01.123.456.co.uk.

"Access is denied."

Been googling for a while now, nout conclusive comes up.

I'd rarther do a clean removal of the subdomain rarther than having to clear up metadata....

Whats strange, is that its not the login thats wrong, as if i put in a different one, it says 'incorrect username/password' instead of 'access denied'.

Just to confirm, you are using a user from the enterprise admins group for the credentials?

There's a child domain? You've not mentioned this before. I think at this point for anyone to help out you perhaps need to clarify you set up with domain structure and what you are trying to do.

Due to time constraints, ive had to remove the final DC the old fashioned/dirty way, using forceremoval.
Metadata cleared, trusts removed, all clean.
Yet some workstations still show the child domain in the domain list...

What on earth are you on about? :confused:

.
The questions about the child domain and the one in the OP are completely separate as they wont relate to each other once the child domain is gone, which it now is.
