We have a windows 2003 Enterprise - parent domain with some child domains.
We are removing the child domains to end up with one domain. We had some
users in child domains that were members of security groups in the parent.
They were not removed from these groups when the domain was removed. We now
have a couple of orphaned objects in these security groups.

How can I remove these objects as normal AD management will not touch them??

Hopefully yours

I have tried ADSIEdit but I could not get down low enough, I managed to
delete a whole security group that was affected and no longer in use. I
could not manage to get to the one record!!
