I finally managed to get rid of the leftover by stopping propagation of ACEs and taking ownership of the entry in adsiedit.msc, then i was able to run the /prepareAD which recreated the Default Global Address List entry in the schema.
The default global address list is still the one in CN=All Global Address Lists 2 that was created by someone before me. I leave it as is for now, enough emotions. Thanks!
