AD KCC Error

I have Active directory 2008 R2 and I am seeing this errors on only one domain controller.  I checked some  forums that indicated objects no longer in use and found some in Sites and Services.  I waited 24 hrs but still getting the errors.   Has anyone ran into these errors and what would be the cause?  Here are the errors/warning:

Description:
The Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) has detected problems with the following directory partition.
 
Directory partition:
CN=Configuration,DC=XXXX,DC=XXX
 
There is insufficient site connectivity information for the KCC to create a spanning tree replication topology. Or, one or more directory servers with this directory partition are unable to replicate the directory partition information. This is probably due to inaccessible directory servers.

In addition if there are intances of server which  is removed from network and still present in AD then run metadata cleanup to remove the same.
