NTFRS, DFS & event 13562

[Guest]

Hi,

I am getting event 13562 in the FRS event log, this is due to a dead DFS share (which was being previously replicated) being deleted. I get this error every day, once a day I have found the relevant object using adsiedit but am not happy just trying to delete the object, I know this can cause serious problems. Is there any way I can remove this object from the AD without just deleting it? If I do just delete it what would the repercussions be?

I can't seem to find anything concerning removing these on the web only repair.

The object is not used by any servers or DFS shares anymore.

Thanks in advance,
Dave

You may wish to repost this in microsoft.public.windows.server.dfs_frs.

If you can't get the cleanup to happen by deleting the link target in the
DFS GUI, you will have to do a manual clean up of the AD objects manually.
Taking backups before you make manual modifications is highly recommended.
