Btw: There are no masters/slaves in an Active Directory forest. This was
the NT4-domain time. ;-)

You should add yourself to the bug report. I think it's a serious bug.
If you're having more debug stuff, just add it.


But I think, there's currently no way to remove it. And manually editing
the AD should really not be done. It could cause irreparable damage to
your AD.
