I was working to bring down my first IPA server and did it improperly. It was a rookie mistake, but I'm willing to view it as an exercise in recovering from a massive master server failure. The original master server is gone with no way of recovering and I have managed to replace the master server with one of my replicas, but I find myself in a situation where I cannot remove the original master server from the directory. It is still seen as a master server and the webUI will not let me delete the system. Is there a process somewhere that will walk me through the process of demoting the server so I can delete it from the directory? Your help is greatly appreciated. <div class="moz-signature">-- Michael Rainey </div> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> </blockquote> Hello, have you tried ipa-replica-manage del <old server hostname> [--cleanup] [--force] on the current replicas?
