You will need to use ntdsutil to remove the orphaned dc/domain. Take a look
at the following MS KB articles for instructions:

> I'm having trouble with a non-existing domain controller/ad-domain. This
time my fingers were faster than my brain...I formatted a domain
controller's system partition since it wasn't no longer needed. It was the
last domain controller in that child domain which was meant for testing
purposes. Now the other domain controllers in our tree are still trying to
replicate with it, because the domain was not correctly removed with dcpromo
and the AD still thinks this child domain is there. How to correct this? I'd
appreciate your help!
