Cleaning up DC errors

Hello. Our AD Domain is running Windows 2008 R2 at the Forest and Functional level.  Our primary DC's containing the FSMO rules live on the 2008 R2 servers.  We have Windows 2016 DC's in the mix and are preparing to move the FSMO roles to the Windows 2016 servers.

So, in DCDiag, I have 2 servers I cannot get rid of.  Combed through all of DNS in Windows and Bind (We have both), not there, Checked AD, not there, Ran through with powershell to look at inactive systems.. these are not in the list.  How do I get rid of these entries to clean this up?

      Starting test: SystemLog
         An error event occurred.  EventID: 0x0000165B
            Time Generated: 05/04/2021   09:26:43
            Event String:
            The session setup from computer 'WWW2R' failed because the security
database does not contain a trust account 'WWW2R$' referenced by the specified c
omputer.

You might have to dig around in ADSI Edit and look for the bad entries.

Oh boy, fun ;)  Or I can ignore in DCDiag ;)

remove WWW2R from domain, and rejoin it

Thanks David but www2r does not exist as a VM, Physical nor is in DNS anywhere.

Thanks for the feedback, I did find that though they were not in the domain or DNS, they still lingered in VMWare.. so found the culprit.  We have removed from there, and wolla.  Thanks.
