Hi
We had two DFS servers, one of them get totally broken.
Our current situation is following, I can't remove broken DFS root replica
from the DFS console, neither it woun't allow me to do any changes.
I woun't repair broken server it's old and physically broken, we have one now
How could I remove old server from dfs root and add new one?

to add a new one, just add one as you did before...
to remove a root server from the DFS configuration while it is not alive
anymore you need to use the tool DFSUTIL
