Yes, DNS is still running. I assume then that I should stop or uninstall it first?

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?

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.
