AD Removing Lingering Objects

repadmin /removelingeringobjects DCSERVERNAME GUID of good working DC dc=xxxx,dc=xxxx

The repadmin /removelingeringobjects command does the following:

Compares the directory database objects on a reference domain controller with the objects on the target domain controller, which contains (or is suspected to contain) lingering objects.
Either removes the lingering objects or logs the potential deletions to the Directory Service event log, as follows:

• If you use the /advisory_mode parameter, events are logged in the Directory Service event log for the objects that are found.

• If you do not use the /advisory_mode parameter, the found objects are deleted without replicating the deletions; that is, the deletions occur only on the target domain controller.
