You have to manually enable scavenging for that zone (and on a server to do it) 
which folks often don't do.

I almost always see extra entries hanging around in _msdcs that need to be 
manually cleaned up.

It is that easy.  Right-click the dead DC in ADUC, select delete and you are 
done.

I, personally, would still verify the DNS stuff for the dead DC is gone.

Thanks

You can clean up dead DC metadata from a GUI in 2008 and later? Just use ADUC 
and Sites and Services per this article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc816907(WS.10).aspx

I have a dead DC that held no FSMO roles or anything else (DHCP, etc.), has 
anyone used this GUI method and still had to resort to command-line?

Seems too easy...lol
