break trust with old, non-existant domain

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsnt.domain (More info?)

Greetings.

I once had a test domain (DOMAIN2) which was trusted by our main
domain (DOMAIN1). I decomissioned/destroyed the test domain before I
broke the trust agreement between the two. Now I cannot remove the
trust.

Is there any way I can force the removal of the trust between domains?
When I try, I either get "an unknown error has occurred" or "cannot
break trust, DOMAIN2 PDC not found".

Thanks for any help.

How exactly are you removing the trusts?

I'm trying to remove the trust by going to User Manager for Domains
(on an NT4 BDC) \ policies \ trusts, in the "trusted domains" window,
click on the old (no longer existing) domain, then click on "remove".
I then get the "unknown error has occurred). Thanks for responding!

You first removed the trusting domains?

Thanks for the help Michael, I think I've figured it out.

Yes, I had removed all of the trusting domains first. What finally
worked was going to AD Domains and Trusts on my 2003 DC, and removing
the old trusted domain there. That finally seemed to get rid of it
totally. I appreciate the help.
