If they still appear in the domain list then there are still trusts on them. If you've removed the servers but not the trusts, your going to have a issue. Take a look at Active Directory Domains and Trusts. If that is the care, i'll give you a few URL's from microsoft, as I was in the same situation.

Besides checking for any static WINS entries try what lieb39 said.

Check with the Active Directory Domains and Trusts MMC if the trusts still exist. If it still exists delete it and make sure that action replicates to the other DCs in the domain. If not check the same but on another DC. If some DCs still have the trust and some don't there may be something wrong with your replication!

You can also dig into AD and remove the trust objects from within the directory using ADSIEDIT. BE CAREFULL THOUGH!!!

Steps (test this first if you unsure!):

* With ADSIEDIT open the domain NC and navigate to CN=system,DC=<YOUR-DOMAIN> ,DC=<YOUR-DOMAIN> (e.g.

CN=system,DC=BLABLA,DC=COM)

* See if there exists an object with CN=<YOUR-DOMAIN> .<YOUR-DOMAIN> (e.g.

CN=BLABLA.COM) of the class "trustedDomain" (if you have other domains in your forest or outside your forest that still validly trust the domain, make sure you don't delete the wrong object!!!)

* Select the trustedDomain object of the domain you have decommissioned and delete that object

* Make sure this replicates to the other DCs in the domain!

* The old domain should be gone from the dialog boxes
