    Fair spot. The AD was originally installed to server1, and over time it (and
    exchange) was migrated to server2 by adding server2 as a DC, transferring
    the roles across, demoting server1 and then decomissioning server1. That was
    done several years ago, and everything has worked nicely since (until
    lastnight!) I have used ntdsutil to attempt to clean up the residue from
    server1, but the AD has no knowledge of server1, so I can only assume that
    server1 was correctly decomissioned, and my troubles are caused by something
    else.
