replica no longuer exist?
I tried with the GUI and i get an error, The following error occured while

Pierre,
You mention removing a replica, so I assume you have enabled replication on
your DFS link targets and are thus using FRS. You can manually clean up the
FRS related AD objects. The following KB article gives you an overview of
the AD objects used by FRS.

One of the DFS people in the group can give you more information about
manually cleaning up any DFS related AD objects.

Pierre,
Did you remove the root-replica properly (using GUI) from this DFS root? If
not, you should to cleanup for this root replica so that it is cleaned-up
from DFS metadata. For this please look at 'dfsutil.exe /unmap...' &
'dfsutil.exe /clean...' options. After this cleanup is done, you should be
able to remove the DFS link using GUI after sometime.
You can also remove the Dfs link using command: "dfscmd.exe" system tool.
Here please give \\Another-replica-name\YourDfsRoot\YourLink as DFS path.
(for example: dfscmd.exe /unmap \\Another-replica-name\YourDfsRoot\YourLink
\\targetserver\share)
Please reply if you still find any issues here.
