Manually removing a DC from a domain that does not exist anymore

[news.microsoft.com]

Hey..

How can I remove a DC that was promoted in a child domain of my forest, then
just powered off without being demoted? Every time I do a repadmin /syncall
I get errors due to this object not being properly demoted from being a DC.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks..

If it was the only DC in the child domain, then you need to also cleanup the
orphaned domain.
