Question : How to clean up this DCs SYSVOL FRS Member Object after demoting a DC

I got an error message every day, it has been a while but since the replication is working fine, I never pay too much attention to it, but now I am cleaning up all that

all the servers are 2003

NTDS Replication 1864
Event Category:      Replication
Event ID:      1864

Event Type:      Warning
Event Source:      NTDS Replication
Event Category:      Replication
Event ID:      1083
Date:            12/25/2007
Time:            12:39:42 AM
User:            NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON

I run all the tools and they all passed but
dcdiag -c
Starting test: VerifyEnterpriseReferences
         The following problems were found while verifying various important DN
         references.  Note, that  these problems can be reported because of
         latency in replication.  So follow up to resolve the following
         problems, only if the same problem is reported on all DCs for a given
         domain or if  the problem persists after replication has had
         reasonable time to replicate changes.
            [1] Problem: Missing Expected Value
             Base Object:
            CN=LostAndFoundConfig,CN=Configuration,DC=jacobs2k,DC=com
             Base Object Description: "Server Object"
             Value Object Attribute: serverReference
             Value Object Description: "DC Account Object"
             Recommended Action: This could hamper authentication (and thus
            replication,  etc).  Check if this server is deleted, and if so
            clean up this DCs Account  Object.  If the problem persists and
            this is not a deleted DC, authoratively restore the DSA object from
            a good copy, for example the DSA on the DSA's home server.

            [2] Problem: Missing Expected Value
             Base Object:
            CN=SERVERSD,CN=Domain System Volume (SYSVOL share),CN=File Replicati
on Service,CN=System,DC=jacobs2k,DC=com
             Base Object Description: "SYSVOL FRS Member Object"
             Value Object Attribute Name: frsComputerReference
             Value Object Description: "DC Account Object"
             Recommended Action: Check if this server is deleted, and if so
            clean up this DCs SYSVOL FRS Member Object.  Also see Knowledge
            Base Article:  Q312862

            [3] Problem: Missing Expected Value
             Base Object:
            CN=SERVERSD,CN=Domain System Volume (SYSVOL share),CN=File Replicati
on Service,CN=System,DC=jacobs2k,DC=com
             Base Object Description: "SYSVOL FRS Member Object"
             Value Object Attribute Name: serverReference
             Value Object Description: "DSA Object"
             Recommended Action: Check if this server is deleted, and if so
            clean up this DCs SYSVOL FRS Member Object.  Also see Knowledge
            Base Article  Q312862

I demoted SERVERSD a while ago and I thought that it went ok. Anyway I tried to clean the metadata cleanup but I don't have the server listed there...

any suggestions on how to remove it from the DCs SYSVOL FRS Member Object. The article they refered  to, is to re-add it

thanks
