Still getting these, unfortunately. Guess there's something still hidden somewhere, that thinks the demoted DCs should be participating in replicating the Domain System Volume, even tho I see no reference to them in the GUI DFSR manager, nor the CLI utilities. I guess I will end up using ADSIEdit somewhere ... guess there's more searching in my future ...
Anyone have any pointers or clues as to why, and how to fix it?
