I need to disable all windows server functionalities (dc, active directory etc) on a windows server 2008 R2 machine and join this machine in a domain as a simple client machine to share data to the domain users. Any guide?
Thanks

Hello Antcarl,
Thanks for re-posting in English. To demote a DC, I suggest you follow the below Microsoft KB.Moving a Domain Controller from a Domain
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771844(v=WS.10).aspx
However, you might want to clean the Metadata if the normal AD removal procedure fails and a forced removal is required.Clean Up Server Metadata
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc816907(v=WS.10).aspx
For other roles, for example DHCP & DNS, referring to:Removing a DNS Server
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc794727(v=WS.10).aspxRemove or uninstall DHCP
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc775476(v=WS.10).aspx
Thanks

First Find out how many roles are installed on the server using server manager then accordingly remove the roles from there to uninstall the the active directory use dcpromo command on the server.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc737258(v=ws.10).aspx
Note: I assume you will remove the active directory from the additional domain controller.
After doing the above procedures you are ready to go.

Hello,
I assume here that this is a DC. In this case, proceed like that:
- Run netdom query fsmo to check if the DC to demote is an FSMO holder. If yes, transfer FSMO roles to another DC: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324801
- Make sure that you have at least one healthy DC / DNS / GC server in your AD domain
- Run dcpromo to demote the DC
- Check that it is correctly joined to your AD domain
At this step, disable and uninstall what you want.
