Hi Guys,<br />
<br />
We had a failed DC and I have removed the majority of the metadata for the failed DC but in sites and services, under the active, healthy DC, I still see the NTDS settings which is auto generated and FROM SERVER: Failed server. <br />
<br />
Should I delete this NTDS setting aswell?<br />
<br />
Thanks guys
