When I run "repadmin /showreps /v"; I have seen 3 Dcs those are gracefully demoted a year back. removed the entiries form dnsmgmt.msc, dssite.msc & ntdsutil. there is nothing in dsa.msc. Then how the "repadmin /showreps /v" is showing the orphaned DCs?
There is nothing in nltest /dclist:contoso.com, dsquery server -limit 0 but still in repadmin /showreps /v.

Hi,
I agree with Christoffer and Sandesh, provide sample output of the Repadmin /showreps /v. What is the "Last Attempt" says in repadmin /showreps /v for those 3 DCs.

Replication Summary Start Time: 2011-12-13 07:27:19
Beginning data collection for replication summary, this may take awhile:

Given the failed result.
In addition,
I have 8 child domains and DNS replication scope is forestwide.
Run the below command but not found anything but still showing in "repadmin /showreps /v".
dsquery * DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=contoso,DC=com -scope base -attr msDs-masteredBy >> domaindnszones-DCs.txt
dsquery * DC=fomainDnsZones,DC=contoso,DC=com -scope base -attr msDs-masteredBy >> forestdnszones-DCs.txt

nltest /dclist:child.contoso.com

Sunday, February 03, 2013 11:39 AM You have posted the output of "repadmin /replsum" and not "repadmin /showreps /v" - How many DCs do you have in total in your forest? I think those DSAs (DCs) are stuck at some DC(s) in your envrionement (e.g) the deletion of them hasn't replicated in. Can you post the output of "repadmin /showreps /v" ?
