Server being listed in gpresult not listed. these DC's were removed without any issues a bout 3years ago but still being ref by gpo

A "dcdiag /v /e /f:dcdiag.txt" might tell you why.

found this in the result between all the current prod DC's

* SPN found :LDAP/a6a54aea-9b1c-4f94-ac33-8d4f99e96664._msdcs.domain.name
         * SPN found :E3514235-4B06-11D1-AB04-00C04FC2DCD2/a6a54aea-9b1c-4f94-ac33-8d4f99e96664/domain.name

how can i removed this if i don't find it in DNS?

Where did you find it?

E3514235-4B06-11D1-AB04-00C04FC2DCD2 is the AD replication SPN
a6a54aea-9b1c-4f94-ac33-8d4f99e96664 is the DC GUID

This entry should only be registered on the DC with that GUID.

To see spn's:

setspn -l <name of DC>

To remove a spn:

setspn -d <SPN> <name of DC>

Try abandon your domain with one of your domain account and join domain again (I suppose you have a another dc ) and check your dns settings to clients resolve your new dc (on client side, in command prompt write ipconfig /flushdns)

good luck.

removed pc from domain and readded it. no issues. with the setspn cmd:
FindDomainForAccount: DsGetDcNameWithAccountW failed!

Try, open OU that your computer belongs to, right click computer name select reset computer account (be careful, all GPOs,certificates are affected at this time).

If it doesn't work try move your client to another OU.


good luck

How do i remove the old DC from the domain if the computer account does not exist anymore?
