SBS 2011 to Server 2016 migration

This is for a recent migration from SBS 2011 to Server 2016 Standard:

Following the Migration Guide everything seemed to go as expected but now several weeks after I realize the old SBS 2011 server is still showing as a domain controller. The server has been disconnected from the network so at this point I'm not sure what needs to be done to correct the problem

That is not possible if you have demoted the old SBS 2011. Why do you think it is still a DC? Can you run from an elevated Powershell prompt:

(Get-ADForest).Domains | %{ Get-ADDomainController -Filter * -Server $_ }

Copy the output in your answer.

You have done something wrong. The old SBS is not demoted at all or failed to demote. I will contact you offline and arrange a Teams session to help you this
