How do you remove a Replication Group in DFS on Windows 2008 Server R2
We had a DC fail. We replaced the drives on it and rebuilt it. The DC was using DFS to replicate files to our data center. After rebuilding the server I go into DFS Managment and inside the replication group for this server it says "The replication group cannot be queried. The replication group cannot be found." I want to remove the group and re-add it back in to see if that fixes the issue. I've searched around on how to do this and I found a few things for server 2003 but we are using server 2008. Please help!
