windows 2008 r2 _msdcs has old Alias/ Cname id of old domain controller

hi experts

after cleaning dns

(deleting old gray _msdcs folder , restarting netlogon)

i notice _msdcs folder recreated notice entry of alias / cname of guid of old domain controller no longer in production

when demoted dc, went thur ad , did metadata clean make sure references of dc removed

is safe delete entry or change server name associated it

or

where in adsiedit need find cname/ guid delete

thanks in advance

hi moglsurf,

>the server long gone , have no issues on our network..can delete record?

if have no other issues, may delete old record, in case other issues, record before delete it, can restored.

besides, suggest above, it's recommended enable dns scavenging , aging to cleanup old records.

best regards,

anne
