Two of my Child domain DCs were passsed the tombstone lifetime; I did force
demotion and do the metadata cleanup.. including DNS entries.

Problem is these two DCs are still blocking intersite replication from Child
domain to root.

I run LDP.exe in my HUB DCs and I can still see those two DCs.

What is the best way to remove those using LDP utility..??
thanks
