I think command is something like this to manually remove a DFS root from AD 
that can not be contacted


dfsutil /unmapftroot /server:<Server> /share:<Share>



Thank you,

Subject: Manually Remove DFS Root

Good Morning All,

I attempted to remove an old, no longer used DFS Namespace last night and I 
believe I followed the wrong process. I was instructed to remove the 
replication group for the folder target first, and then remove the members of 
the folder target and then finally the namespace servers. Well, I'm still left 
with one server as a folder target because it wants to remove the associated 
replication group also, but obviously that replication group cannot be found.

Using DFSUtil doesn't seem to be working so I was wondering if I could just 
delete the CN=dfs-Configuration container from DC=mydomain, CN=System using 
ADSIEdit. I'm not worried about any residual information on the namespace 
servers as they will be rebuilt. Is there anything else in AD I need to remove?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

- Sean
