I am running dcdiag on my AD domain & I get the following error messages:

Starting test: Services
Could not open SMTPSVC Service on [corp1]:failed with 1060: The
specified service does not exist as an installed service.
......................... corp1 failed test Services

Starting test: frssysvol
Error: No record of File Replication System, SYSVOL started.
The Active Directory may be prevented from starting.
......................... corp1 passed test frssysvol
 
The smtp error could be nothing to worry about if you're not doing AD
replication over smtp, but would normally see another of the same msg except
referring to iisadmin instead along with it. Dcdiag verifies the
availability of the IISAdmin and SMTP services if the mailAddress attribute
is set on a server object in Active Directory. This attribute is
automatically configured by the intersite messaging code if SMTP-based
replication is configured.

The other one I found a couple of cases where they saw that and in both just
stopped/restarted the frs service and the errors went away (in one of them
though they also changed dns to allow dynamic updates)

When I run replmon status report, I get the following:

Directory Partition: DC=abc,DC=qa,DC=alpha,DC=corp,DC=com

Partner Name: chicago\server2
Partner GUID: 02D7E327-B082-4B88-88EE-1E387CB26066
USN: 203985

Partner Name: **DELETED SERVER #1
Partner GUID: 6FF8E004-F767-4A4F-95E2-FD377170FCBF
USN: 130808

Partner Name: chicago\server1
Partner GUID: B7AC84E1-FD1D-422F-A547-BF15BD1BDE14
USN: 16985

How can I get rid of the deleted server #1 in the above report so that this
server no longer shows up as a replication partner?

Thanks
