DFS on deleted server

hello,

i found a dfs in our domain witch was creates on a server. but we deleted
the server a few month ago (and don´t know about the dfs item). So when i
open the dfs root, i get the error "The RPC server is unavailable."

Does anybody know how i can delete the dfs root from our domain without the
orgin server?

Thanks for all ansers.

Hello Gintenstorfer,

You can do a complete import of your dfs in xml and then, using notepad,
search
for the deleted roots and delete\remove them and then import dfs again. Here
is how
to export:
dfsutil /root:\\<domainname.com>\<dfs root share name> /export:<domain
name>.XML.DFS
to import:
dfsutil /root:\\<domainname.com>\<dfs root share name> /import:<domain
name>.XML.DFS


You can make the commands into a batch file if you need to
Hope this helps,
