Correct - records with a timestamp of 0 (GUI calls them static records) never get cleaned up.
Thanks, Brian Desmond br...@briandesmond.com w - 312.625.1438 | c - 312.731.3132 From: Webster [mailto:webs...@carlwebster.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 8:04 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Dead DC cleanup via GUI in 2008+ IIRC from what Brian Desmond told me, static DNS entries get flagged as untouchable. At least as far as Aging & Scavenging is concerned but I think that would apply to any process that wants to do automated cleanup. Thanks Webster From: David Lum [mailto:david....@nwea.org] Subject: RE: Dead DC cleanup via GUI in 2008+ Good point and yes I did check DNS and found only a static entry. Sites and Services showed a it a as replication partner but it had additional "stuff" behind the name that made me think at next replication it might get removed, but I manually killed the entry. That's so much easier it's almost scary. DCDIAG on the other DC's come up good! Dave From: Webster [mailto:webs...@carlwebster.com] Subject: RE: Dead DC cleanup via GUI in 2008+ It is that easy. Right-click the dead DC in ADUC, select delete and you are done. I, personally, would still verify the DNS stuff for the dead DC is gone. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
