For example, DC=RegionalDomainName,DC=ForestRootDomainName,DC=com. Also run the command against the configuration directory partition (CN=configuration,DC=ForestRootDomainName,DC=com), the schema directory partition (CN=schema,CN=configuration,DC=ForestRootDomainName), and any application directory partitions that are hosted on the domain controller you are checking for lingering objects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax is a bit obscure on this one, although covered in the referenced
articles an example may help you here.
"repadmin /removelingeringobjects <SERVER1> <SERVER2 GUID> PARTITION"
Where;
SERVER1 is the NetBIOS name of the server you want to remove the lingering
objects from (I've only run the command local to this server, but I assume it
can be done remotely)
<SERVER2 GUID> is the GUID of a server that is authoritative for the
partition (i.e. for a domain partition it should be a DC in this domain, not
a GC hosting a partial copy)
PARTITION is the directory partition from which you wish to remove lingering
obejcts. This should be listed in DN format.
So for example if LINGDC is a domain controller which has lingering objects
in the partition dc=internal,dc=company,dc=com, and AUTHDC is a DC for
dc=internal,dc=company,dc=com
repadmin /removelingeringobjects LINGDC <AUTHDC GUID>
dc=internal,dc=company,dc=com
