The script will show you all the DCs that are int eh metadata. It
then lets you remove a DC fromt he metadata just by typing the name.


Oh, I see. I haven't run it yet, but from perusing through it, I
thought you had to specifiy the DC you want to remove without it
providing a list. Nice to know, and thanks for pointing that out!!

I will definitely share it out to others to make it easier,
especially some folks are daunted by the ntdsutil.

Thanks!

Yes, that is one of the features I like best about the script. You can
run it to just get an enumeration of the DCs that are in the metadata
if need be, or you can remove what you want. The script takes no
action until you tell it what to delete, so it can be a great way to
just verify if a DC demotion was successful or not.
