I was task to look at our AD infrastructure and if possible to raise the
funtional level to "Windows server 2003". But I'm unable to perform the task
because 2 previous domain controllers was physically disconnected from the
network but wasn't demoted first. The 2 servers or objects are still showing
in the AD sites and Services.

Please help on how to deleted these 2 objects.
