Hi, Cleaning up metadata with NTDSUTIL will not help in this situation as the domain is external to the AD forest. NTDSUTIL only works for DCs and domains within the same forest.
If the trust still shows in the dialog box you may need to remove it with the Active Directory Domains and Trusts MMC. Check with the Active Directory Domains and Trusts MMC if the trusts still exist. If it still exists delete it and make sure that action replicates to the other DCs in the domain. If not check the same but on another DC. If some DCs still have the trust and some don't there may be something wrong with your replication! You can also dig into AD and remove the trust objects from within the directory using ADSIEDIT. BE CAREFULL THOUGH!!! Steps (test this first if you unsure!): * With ADSIEDIT open the domain NC and navigate to CN=system,DC=<YOUR-DOMAIN> ,DC=<YOUR-DOMAIN> (e.g. CN=system,DC=BLABLA,DC=COM) * See if there exists an object with CN=<YOUR-DOMAIN> .<YOUR-DOMAIN> (e.g. CN=BLABLA.COM) of the class "trustedDomain" (if you have other domains in your forest or outside your forest that still validly trust the domain, make sure you don't delete the wrong object!!!) * Select the trustedDomain object of the domain you have decommissioned and delete that object * Make sure this replicates to the other DCs in the domain! * The old domain should be gone from the dialog boxes Cheers, Jorge -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Myrick, Todd (NIH/CC/DNA) Sent: Thursday, March 24, 2005 15:42 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Domain remains after decommissioning Is there still a trust relationship between the new and old domain? IF the old Domain is Windows 2000, you might want to run a Metadata clean-up using NTDSUTIL. Be careful though. If this domain was used to establish the forest, you can't get rid of it.

All objects were migrated to a new domain in a new forest. Now the new forest still shows the old domain from the old forest. Yes, "This is the last server.." was selected. Thanks again.

The last DC was DCPromoed down and actually moved to the new domain as a standalone server. Prior to this, there was a two way trust which had been in place. All trust relationships were broken before the final DCPromo down. Now, I can still see the old domain in my new domain drop down list and I want to get rid of it. Do I have to run ntdsutil on the new domain to clean up something somewhere or is there something else I need to do to delete this old domain from my new domain's drop down list? Thanks for anything you may offer to me and for continuing to help those of us on the list who need help. This list is invaluable.
