Hi,
I want to uninstall AD domain services and DNS server below, within Win 2016 server, but I cannot unselect the option. What is the way to uninstall both?

    Hi,
    Based on the screenshot you shared, the wrong option was used to remove the roles.
    You tried to remove the roles with the "Add roles and features wizard" as following:
    So, we will see the options with gray.

    We need the use the "Remove roles and features wizard"

    relevant domain is working fine

    Understood. The one you're trying to demote seems problematic. I'd simple remove it from network, seize roles (if needed) then do cleanup as mention above and rebuild this problematic one from scratch.
