Hello,is&nbsp;18DC06, the last remaining Domain Controller? or one of the demoted DCs?since you mentioned the rest are demoted, where they cleanly demoted?&nbsp;Check in "Sites and Services" if there are still any Servers(demoted) listed and perform clean-up.do a "dcdiag /test:VerifyReferences /v" and check which backlink again.
