Where is this in ADSIedit?

I am using ADSI to hopefully solve error 13562 where the domain
controller complains:

"The NtFRSMember object cn=domain_controller1, cn=domain system volume
(sysvol share), cn=file replication service, cn=system, dc=my_domain,
dc=org has a invalid value for the attribute frsComputerReference."

I found this at http://www.jsiinc.com/subj/tip4700/rh4762.htm

"Repairing the Null Server-Reference Attributes

You can use LDP.exe or ADSIedit.msc to repair missing Server-Reference
attributes. These tools repair the attribute by resetting the value in
the configuration naming context or partition to the distinguished
name (DN) of the server's NTDS Settings object. To repair null
Server-Reference attributes:

Use one of the following methods to locate the DN path of the NTDS
Settings object for the computer that has the missing (null)
Server-Reference attribute:


In LDP or ADSIedit, copy the DN path of the NTDS Settings object from
the
Configuration container in the root domain of the forest to
Clipboard......."

I know this came from Microsoft, as I saw it there before. I cannot
figure out how to navigate to this spot with ADSIedit. I went to the
configuration container - CN=Sites, CN=default-first-site-name,
CN=Servers, CN=My good domain controller, CN=NTDS Settings and this
last one's properties. From there I got the distinguishedName
setting.

First, am I at the right place?

Second, Do I copy the value, which makes good sense to me, or the
Path: from up top of the properties window, which makes no sense to
me.

Thank you for guidance. I know this is just the first step. But I am
too scare to install Exchange 2000 Server before doing this.
