Remove a Domain Controller

[Guest]

Hi,

We took off a testing domain controller without removing it from the
Directory. Now, it has been formatted.
Is there a way to remove it's references from the Directory?

Yes, you can delete the object using ADSIEdit or NTDSUtil, then you have to
cleanup the Active Directory metadata using NTDSUtil.

Cheers,
Jaap

Hi,

ADSIEdit worked, and it seems like there's no need to use ntdsutil as it
doesn't find any reference about the server in metadata.

Thanks.
