Well, I appreciate the help. Turns out that we're upgrading and doing fresh installs soon so I've been told we're not going to worry about it. Thanks for all the help and good information.

Hello, I've just recently started a new job and am going to through trying to familiarize myself with the network. I came across a trust that was broken. Come to find out the, the domain listed is no longer online. I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to delete the trust. I've used the ntdsutil to perform a metadata cleanup but of course I can't connect to the domain in order for it be listed to select deletion. We're using Windows Server 2003 and I've searched high and low for an answer. I appreciate whoever takes the time to read this and respond. Thanks. Al

Link470, I've noticed that this thread is pretty old but I also see that no one answered your question. I'm now having the same issue with a domain that was taken offline before the trust was deleted and I can't remove it without connecting to the domain trying to perform a metadata cleanup. Did you happen to find out the fix action? Thanks.
