cleaning out dead dhcp servers

I had a server die recently and now I've got a situation where the dhcp
mmc keeps showing the old server in the authorized servers list. This
is kind of annoying but not causing any problems that I can detect.

Anyone know how to clean this out? The old server will never be restored.

Anything else I need to clean out in this situation (server death)?

Replication was cleaned up using sites and services (deleted the dead
server) and nothing else seems to be broken.
 
Re: cleaning out dead dhcp servers

Hello,
1/un-authorize it : netsh dhcp delete server dhcpsrv1.example.microsoft.com
10.2.2.2

2/cleanup ad about this dhcp server:
1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then
click Active Directory Sites and Services.
2. Click Services, and then click Net Services. If you cannot see Services,
click to select Show Services Node on the View menu.
3. In the right pane, right-click the name of the DHCP servers that you
cannot add to Active Directory, and then click Delete.
4. When the Are you sure you want to delete this object? message appears,
click Yes.
5. Force replication of Active Directory to the other sites, or wait for the
replication cycle to be completed.
6. Click Start, click Run, type Adsiedit.msc in the Open box, and then click
OK.
7. Expand Configuration, expand CN=Configuration, expand CN=Services, and
then click CN=NetServices.
8. Right-click CN=Your_DHCP_Root, and then click Properties.
9. In the Select a property to view list, click DHCPServers.
10. In the Values list, click the name of the new DHCP server, click Remove,
and then click OK.
11. Click CN=NetServices, right-click the entry for the new DHCP server, and
then click Delete.

hope it help,

Re: cleaning out dead dhcp servers

no, only the dead one.
