Domain info:
MS Server 2008 R2
Domain members are XP/Win7/Server 2003/Server 2008 R2
I had a Forest domain.com with 4 child domains that we will call child1.domain.com, etc all pointing to the same parent.
We condensed these down to a single domain in order to eliminate the child domains. Now all we have is domain.com. child2.domain.com was shutdown and reloaded improperly and required metadata cleanup to eliminate the old data. This was completed successfully.
We only want the domain.com to exist
Current status is:
Active Directory Domains and Trusts shows ONLY domain.com
Active Directory Sites and Services shows ONLY domain.com
Active Directory Users and Computers shows ONLY domain.com
DNS shows ONLY pointers and records for domain.com
Problem
When I go to edit a folder and add permissions to a folder or file and the normal box shows up and I hit the "locations" button, I still see child2.domain.com and and older forest that existed before I worked here. If I try to expand child2.domain.com it lets me but there is nothing in there. Same thing for that ancient single domain forest. These are orphaned objects and need to be removed. When I open metadata cleanup I can only see 1 domain, 1 naming context, and 1 site just like the GUI shows. I want this to populate over to this selection screen. Also of note my XP machines still show these old domains as well on the logon screen. We are NOT running WINS of any kind.
Help? Thoughts?
