Ultrasound is giving me a "Missing AD objects - Corrupted Member object"
error for one of my replica sets.

I've tried looking at KB article 312862 but I'm not sure that I
understand what to do.

If I look at CN=repl,CN=repl,CN=DFS Volumes,CN=File Replication
Service,CN=System,DC=student,DC=cnwl,DC=ac,DC=uk in ADSIEdit there are 6
items under it, each of type ntfrsMember and with a "cn=GUID" name. 4 of
these obviously correspond to the 4 servers which make up the set called
"repl"; 2 of them don't - I'd guess they're some how left over from when
there were other members in this replica set. The two which don't
correspond to "real" computers have no value set for
frsComputerReference.

Each of the 6 items has a number of ntdsConnection objects under it. I'm
guessing that there ought to be 3 on each - the 3 partner servers. The 4
"good" servers list their 3 partners properly (but 3 of them also list
the "bad" GUIDs); the two "bad" items list a mix of servers.

I'm pretty sure that when computers were removed from the replica set it
was done cleanly through the GUI but I'd guess it's possible that
something went wrong at this point.

How do I clean up the unwanted data? We did have a DC fail earlier this
year which could not be restarted so we used ntdsutil to remove it from
the domain and installed a completely new machine; could this have
caused the problems?
