Hello everyone,
I'm trying to join a tree domain server to a forest domain and i'm unable to do so due to replication issues. When I try to join the server to the forest I get the following error
The operation failed because:
Active Directory Domain Services could not create the object CN=SETXVPA,CN=Partitions,CN=Configuration,DC=demotesas,DC=local. Check the event log for possible system errors.
"The FSMO role ownership could not be verified because its directory partition has not replicated successfully with at least one replication partner."
Before I had a server tried to join it to the forest but it didn't work so I demoted it from the Server Manager and things went smoothly but it seems there's still leftovers of this server on the forest domain and its causing the replication to fail to the new joining domains.
When I checked in the forest domain the command repadmin /showrepl
I got the following..
Repadmin: running command /showrepl against full DC localhost

----------------------------------
Is there anyway to force delete this old server?
Thanks
