Are there any workarounds to manually demote (for example, after a hard server crash where the server can't be recovered)?

The recommendation so far has been to use ADUC to remove the domain
controller as 'dead, never coming back'.  

I would like our demote tool to do that too, but I've just not got
around to it.  Patches or filed bugs welcome :-)

Sorry,
