Re: Strange Repadmin objects

Hello RickinRacine,

If you start replication monitor with "replmon" from start run without the quotes, i think you will also see them marked as deleted. Normally you can ignore them. The question is, did you removed the old machines with "dcpromo" or "dcpromo /forceremoval"? If just deleted form AD run a metadata cleanup to check/remove old DC's according to this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216498

Also you can cleanup the lostandfound container with ADSIedit:

!!!Please note that this operation if performed wrong can render your environment unusable!!!

Open the ADSI Edit MMC snap-in.

On the Action menu, click Connect to.

In the Connection Settings dialog box, in the Name field, enter a name for the ADSI connection. Under Connection Point, select Select a well known Naming Context, and then select Configuration in the drop-down menu. Click OK.

In the left pane, double-click the Configuration object, and then double-click LostAndFoundConfig.

In the right pane, delete all objects and containers. Right-click the object or container, click Delete, and then click Yes.

Exit ADSI Edit.

I've snipped it because we don't need the healthy 35 DC's at the end.
The above GUID's are no longer in DNS, and do not assoicate to objects
left in the directory.

How do I remove those values? Do I need to care, or is it just a
housekeeping issue?
