How to remove a dead DC from an current domain....

[Scott]

I have a child domain with 2 active dc's. A third dc was promoted in the
domain, then removed without doing a proper demotion. How can I manually
remove the server object in AD? When I do a repadmin /syncall, I continue
to get errors since AD thinks the DC is still alive, when it actually is
not.

Thanks.
