repadmin showing deleted DSA

[Markb]

Does anyone know how to handle the cleanup of a deleted
item. I found that I ended up with an unwanted
replication partner after replacing a domain controller
with the same name. I could leave it until the tombstone
period kicks in, but would like to clean it up before
then.

I thought of that, but the server is not listed in the
site as it's been deleted, so I can not select it. I
tried to use the name CN=WLG-DC2\
DEL:dbfe345e-ade1-493e-87cc-59d2b8fabc64, but did not
expect that to work. I don't what to try wlg-dc2 as it's
a live DC. The problem is that it has for the most part
cleaned up, it's like when they become orphaned, but I
can not do the normal operation for that as it's
deleted. I can not delete a deleted object (ldp will not
allow) and I'm not sure if you can cause a single object
to tombstome before it's time and even if I could, would
that be the best course of action, or if changing the
systemflag to something unprotected would allow it to be
removed. All are a little questionable, and I can not
find any documentation on this kind of issue. There are
documentation on how to view deleted items, but not want
one can do with them.
