When I am running repadmin /removelingeringobjects /advisory_mode getting 4 objects are found.

& when I removed the advisory_mode  for deleting those objects, showing 0 objects deleted.

repadmin /removelingeringobjects  Commands executed successfully with the below MSG.

Shall I Un-Host & Re-Hosting Active Directory Partitions for cleaning those objects? Will that help?

FFL is WIN 2003 & DFL is WIN 2008 R2

Hi,

Please try below commands to remove lingering object. Not you have provide the GUID

repadmin /removelingeringobjects * GUID DC=Contoso,DC=com /ADVISORY_MODE
repadmin /removelingeringobjects * GUID CN=Configuration,DC=Contoso,DC=com /ADVISORY_MODE
repadmin /removelingeringobjects * GUID CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=Contoso,DC=com /ADVISORY_MODE
repadmin /removelingeringobjects * GUID DC=ForestDnsZones,DC=Contoso,DC=com
repadmin /removelingeringobjects * GUID DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=Contoso,DC=com /ADVISORY_MODE

Hi,

The command you have mentioned is used to delete the lingering objects, but not remove.
If you want to delete and remove the lingering object, you could use the command:

REPADMIN /REMOVELINGERINGOBJECTS <FQDN of DC with lingering objects> <objectGUID of DC with correct data> <DN of partition containing lingering objects>
