sysvol folder empty due DFS problem

[Asterisique]

Hi all,

At the moment we have 4 domain controllers. In the past someone deleted a domain controller (web-arr) in the wrong way. No we have a problem wit DFS for the sysvol replication.
When I run "Create Diagnostic Report" in DFS management. I see the following error:
DFS Replication cannot replicate with partner Web-ARR due to a communication error.

That's correct, the server Web-ARR doesn't exist. But how can I remove this server. This server is not listed in DFS management. The members have all state 2 : Initial sync
Within AD I don't see any references to this server

PS C:\Users\administrator.ASTERISQUE> dsquery server -o rdn
DC-LANDGRAAF
BDC-EINDHOVEN
DC-WIJCHEN
DC-BOERHAAVE
WHPDC02

I also checked AD Sites and services.

Use of DCPROMO is still the proper way to remove a DC server in an Active Directory infrastructure. The following video provides an example of these

That's the problem. The domain-controller is not listed in "AD users and computers" or "AD sites and services" or ntdsutil

Have you looked through DNS? Maybe you have some left over SRV records for it.

I have found a RR signature (RRSIG) record in DNS. But I can't delete it.
