Hi All



We recently have a DC which failed to operate normally and unable to demote normally. Therefore I follow the steps show in http://support.microsoft.com/?id=216498 to remove all its relevant data from the AD. Everything seems working fine except the following replication errors being logged periodically. I remember before the failed DC was removed from my DNS server manually, the address 41991cc7-779a-4d4c-9137-17bed1fcb075 is referring to the removed DC. I have tried to look through our AD everywhere with adsiedit but failed to locate the above anywhere. I also removed all the relevant failed DC records with Active Directory Sites and Services. Does anyone have any ideas where else should I look to have this replication task completely removed. Normal replications can be done between all DCs.



Hope someone can help me with this.
