ldap / DC

[Skibs]

We have unplugged and disposed of an unused DC from our domain.

Now I am getting errors that LDAP is looking for the server, and of course the server is in the active directory lists etc.

As we do not have the server anymore, can i just delete it from the active directory and how do i de;ete it so that ldap stops looking for it.

cheers

Did you not DCPROMO the server out of your domain before removal?

If you didn't dcpromo the server out of the domain you will need to use ntdsutil to clean AD up.
