Hi,
What is the "Domain Problem"?
To rejoin the computer to the domain:
1. Delete the computer account from the directory.
2. Login with a local administrative user.
3. Join the computer to a workgroup.
4. Join the computer to the domain.
Please let me know if you need another help.Regards, Liran.

2- Go to AD consol and delete the server account there.
3- login to server with local administrator.
4- join the server to your Domain again. (Restart).

Domain re-joining is a simple process and proceed as suggested by Liran/M.Adbelhamid.
As a best practice, you should delegate permissions to a group, and then add users to the group or remove them as needed to join
workstations to the domain.
You can use a tool such as Ldp.exe to delegate permissions to join workstations/memeber servers to a domain.
Also, pls have a look at

"Member server is a DNS server", is that an additional domain controller ? If your answer is Yes, then you need to take some precautions.
Pls refer Removing a Domain Controller from a Domain

No this server is not an additional domain controller.
