More info?)
thxs Stuart,
I did read that article hence my question about "is there a better way
to remove orphaned DC they using ADSIEDIT?" in my post. I thought
there might be other ways to removed orphaned DC. I shall removed
those orphaned DC with ADSIedit then.
How about removing the orphaned Exchange server in the Exchange System
Manager? If I go Exchange System Manager ->Administrative Groups
->domain name ->Servers ->then lists of exchange servers (including
Orphaned Server ABC)
I would like to remove that Orphaned Server ABC from the Exchange
System list. I used ADSIedit to browse for that Server ABC but it is
not listed in the ADSIedit. Any advice??
Thanks,
::G::
