[Samba] How to fully remove entries to dead windows server

[Peter Pollock]

Thank you! I thought remove-other-dead-server was only for linux servers
that had died.
That did the trick though.

It didn't, however, fix the weird replication reports, and I just noticed
that the Outbound ones are also weird - in that they don't have any
timestamps at all.

C=ForestDnsZones,DC=my,DC=domain
        Default-First-Site-Name\DC2 via RPC
                DSA object GUID: d0ab7757-99e0-4104-a22d-60e4b318e1b4
                Last attempt @ NTTIME(0) was successful
                0 consecutive failure(s).
                Last success @ NTTIME(0)

But I ran the remove-other-dead-server on DC2 and DC1 recognized the
removal immediately so replication must be working. Should I just ignore it?
