RE: [ActiveDir] how to get rid of an obsolete DC?

Talk to yourself all you want, if you DON'T respond to yourself though then you might be considered crazy.   An NT4 BDC object is just an object, no other objects tied to it that need cleaning up like AD DCs. Eliminate with maximum prejustice.   admod -b object_dn -rm     -- O'Reilly Active Directory Third Edition - http://www.joeware.net/win/ad3e.htm      From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thommes, Michael M.

Hmmmm.....so *is* ADSIEdit a valid tool to use?  I can see the object I want to delete in ADSIEdit.  (Would I be talking to myself if I reply to my own post?)   Mike Thommes   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thommes, Michael M.

When I use ADSIEdit and go to the domain, it only shows me the two functioning DCs and not the one I'm looking for.   What other tools are available for this type of "house cleaning"?   Thanks!   Mike Thommes List info   : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ    : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/   List info   : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ    : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info   : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ    : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
