Hi,

We have 3 DCs listed in our AD domain. 2 are still
running while the 3rd is no longer operational. It has
been formatted and no longer exists. It still appears
lsited as an object in AD.
Is it safe to delete this object?

Thanks
 
Hi Matjaz

Thanks for the speedy reply.
Having looked at the procedure you recommended, I am
filled with dread, lol.
We are concerned that due to the fact, the DC in question
is no longer available we will be unable to connect to and
remove it.
Can you point out any other relevant webpages which might
help with this matter.

Thanks

Jim
 
You don't connect to a dead DC, but to a live one, and do a metadata
cleanup, which basicaly removes DC entry from AD.
