Old Domain Controller

[Mike Perkins]

I have an Old DC that is no longer part of the network,
How can I remove the Entry from AD under Domain
Controllers for that machine. The machine died and I no
longer needed it so I just let it go. But it will not let
me delete it from AD?

You can delete it with ADSI Edit or LDP that's included in the Support Tools
on the
Server CD and you can also use Ntdsutil.exe utility to manually remove the
NTDS Settings object.
