Hi,

I have a couple of DCs that were forcibly removed from the domain with
ntdsutil a long time ago. They do not show up anywhere except in the
list of potential DHCP servers in the DHCP MMC or when using NETSH for
DHCP. They are not in any of the other AD mmcs like ADUC, ADDT, ADSS.

How can I completely remove them?

Thanks,

Peter
 
There isn't any official documentation but Paul Williams has documented the
steps to remove a serve. I believe all you have to do is the ADSIEdit piece
but I would go through the whole article to be sure.

I will have a look but I already did the adsiedit thing. That removed
ithem from the all the AD mmcs but it is still there in DHCP.

Thanks,

Peter
 
Spoke too fast. I did use adsiedit before but not the way the article
says with "CN=DhcpRoot". I will post how it goes.

Thanks,

Peter
 
Apologies for the multiple posts - that is what happens when you rush
and are tired at the same time {sigh}. Anyway, this seems to have
worked, but I do have one question specific to the instructions in the
link.

It says to edit the DhcpRoot entry which contains a list of servers.
The first line in that section of the ADSIEdit window has the DHCPRoot
followed by the individual servers - one per line. After removing the
servers in the root, they still remain listed underneath. They do not
show up anymore in the DHCP MMC but I wonder if I should remove the
individual entries or not.

Thanks very much,

Peter
 
This is a very good article. I was down at Tech Ed last summer and spoke
for quite sometime on this very subject and had multiple people working on
this. No one found anything from Microsoft detailing this, but there was
another MVP that did detail these same steps as Paul has keyed up.

I would remove any entries that are no longer in use
