My problem is that I followed everything in KB216498, including the using
ADSIEDIT and I did not find the DC name. But, I did found the DC name in AD
Sites and Services. However, I get the "the DSA object cannot be deleted"
message when I tried to delete it.
There must be something that can be done to remove the object.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
