removing old domains from network places

[rakem]

I have been in the process of migrating our users to new domains, now that i have completed this I still have the old left over domains in network places, is there a way to remove these? i thought they would just automatically be removed when I ran dcpromo on the old DC's but alas they remain...

any suggestions??

Just give it a little time.. they will be removed from the cache.. One thing you could do would be to restart every computer on the network to remove their cache as well.

I would just give it a day or so though and it should disappear

its been at least a week and they are still there...

Then there is still a device on the network that is spitting out that domain name. do you have access to it. can you double click on the domain name and gain access to it.

It could be that you have a domain name configured on a printer on the network and it is spitting out the name during browser elections... (broadcasts)

If nothing on the domain is on the network, it will go away.. if it stays.. that means there is still something sending that message..

no there is no access to the domains if you double click on them... There are two domains that are there, both these domains were set up for testing purposes, we used them for a few days each then removed active directory from the servers and created our current domain on the same server,

I have checked all my DNS and WINS settings are there is nothing at all that relats back to the old domains
