Normally this would happen if you didn't have enough disk space on the
machine to complete the operation. 
The 2nd thing to check for, is DNS still running while you are trying to
do the domotion?

Subject: [MSUNAG] Error when demoting a DC?

Hi all,

I attempted to demote a domain controller, and right after starting
dcpromo, the operation failed with the following oh so descriptive error
message:
Failed to configure the service NETLOGON as requested  The wait
operation timed out.

Any ideas where to start here?  I have no idea what it's complaining
about.


Thanks,
