schemaXT - how to remove a server entry from Active Director

orbitalsalmon

SchemaXT was very useful in listing our database server in Active Directory, but it also lists our test server which we'd like removed.

Does it require uninstalling the database service on test server first?

When you uninstall the server it should remove itself from AD, however this doesn't work always.
The only way i found was to manually remove the ldap entries.
BE CAREFULL!!! you can seriously damage your active directory if you don't know what you are doing.

first open command promt:
type dsquery * forestroot -filter (objectclass=navision-serviceconnectionpoint) followed by enter
from the output find the entry you wish to remove and copy it to notepad
Remove the linebreaks and copy the line.

go back to command promt and type dsrm space and paste your line.
the line should look something like this: (incl. double qoutes)
dsrm "CN=Navision Attain Database Server NAME,CN=SERVER,OU=Navision Servers,OU=My Company,DC=domainname,DC=local"

press enter and say Y to delete the entry.
