Hi There,
After a recent demotion of a DC and removal of the DFS links I now get event error 13562. The problem is not the normal serverreference but the ntfrscomputerreference which is null…as stated the dc was dcpromo’d out, and then dfs links removed. The server still exists – but not as a DC or a DFS partner…can I just delete the ntfrs* reference?
I have read the MS stuff [kb312862] but that assumes you are recovering ntfrs objects / references or editing the null strings – neither is correct in my case.
*I get the 13562, with CN= etc…on w2k servers only…on w2k3 I get summary of warnings but no other info’
**I have no plans to re-introduce the demoted DC as either a DC or DFS partner.
***No meatadata cleanup required – not a failed dcpromo.
many thanks.
