greetings,

i promoted 2012 domain controller, with new name , ip,   shutdown old dc , re-ip'ed new dc old ip address.

after reboot working fine.  deleted old dc object name ad.  can without interruption?

thank you


demotion using dcpromo have been preferred way go. 

you should able away deleting computer object old dc using ad users , computers.  metadata cleanup included in modern ui, shouldn't need use ntdsutil cleanup of references old dc.

i manually remove ns record old dc dns zone(s) not handled object deletion. 

also, have through dns records anyway , see if there references old name (a, srv records) , delete them manually if find some.
