Hello Experts!

It is safe to Demote a AD2012 together w/ the DNS role even if they have a File Server installed on same server ?

I'm am aware that it will required downtime on Files Server due to Rebooting once we perform a demotion and removing AD Role in the server.

Thanks

    Assuming there are other domain controllers for same domain it should not be a problem. Just remember to point the DNS to another healthy domain controller on connection properties.
