Non-existent Domain Controllers in Users and Computers

[Eve Lynes]

Hello

I have non-existent domain controllers, remnants of NT4.0 BDCs, that I
can not delete from Users and Computers. I am in Native Mode, I have
successfully run ntdsutil.exe and deleted them from Sites and
Services, I have deleted all references to them from DNS and WINS. I
have attempted to change their Primary Group from Domain Controllers
to Computers without success.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
