I am receiving errors in the system log reporting replication failures from a domain controller. I realize this is probably a question for the AD lists, but I'll try anyways. "The File Replication Service is having trouble enabling replication from Backup-DC to Primary-DC for c:\winnt\sysvol\domain using the DNS name Backup-DC.DOMAIN.com. FRS will keep retrying." Note, the names have been substituted. My problem is, this Backup-DC was removed before I started working at that job site (It's not physically there anymore), so there's no way to "join" it and "unjoin" it. Is there another way to remove it? Thanks, John R.
