We recently needed to perform a schema extension and subsequently found a number of replication issues.
There were a number of lingering objects nearly all of which were able to be removed using repadmin. There's one object that can't be removed through repadmin or repldiag. Details of the eventlog message are below.
There is a 1988 error relating to a GUID for every domain controller in our child domain, I guess at least the child domain is consistent.
The question is whether there is any other way that this lingering object can be removed other than demoting and re-promoting each and every domain controller across the child domain?
