Demote DC and DCOM error

I am getting an error message in my event viewer after demoting a DC. The
error states "DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer <DC_Name>
using any of the configured protocols.

Also, I removed that DC in the Active Directory Sites and Services after
demoting it. Thank you in advance for the help.

Can you post the EventID#, please?

This error is normally indicative of a DNS issue. Please post an ipconfig
/all of the remaining DC or two of your DCs, please, which will help us
evaluate your configuration.
