Hi All,
I need a bit of help. I've been working on a server on a site I'm looking after. When I turned up on site I was asked to create a new DC plus migrate DHCP and DNS. I was told that the server was an repurposed one so I went ahead wiped and have installed the OS.
However, now that the server is up and running, I see that the old machine name is listed as a DC in AD Users and Computers. So cursing myself for not looking at the HD and double checking ... I fired up NTDSutil to clean up the record.
However I can't see it listed in NTDSutil.
I used Petri's article to double check my work:

Notes:
I have 2 sites. I have looked in both.
When I look in AD U&C under DCs I see this machine's old name [AD-00] listed. However it's not listed as having a type, DC type or site. Is this a concern?...
