Interesting. You have a total of 29 DCs in your domain. If you are only
ghosting two of them for a test/lab network (assuming totally off the
production network), and you followed the steps the Jorge layed out to ghost
them, then you have more work to do. You will need to also perform a
metadata cleanup to remove the other 27 DCs that will NOT be on the test/lab
network. AD will still have them referenced in the ghosted DCs to replicate
to, because AD believes they still exist.

Here's how to perform a metadata cleanup to remove the other 27 DCs from the
test/lab DCs that you ghosted. You will need to delete them one at a time.
