Hi Rainer
It's not possible to delete a PTR file containing uppercase characters.
See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/842127/en-us
It seems to be possible to delete a whole domain (containing uppercase PTRs)
within a zone but this means recreating the domain. I tried it on a domain
with only a few entries and it worked OK.
Good luck
