stop tcp msg to old server - to port 139

I have removed a server from our system, and tried to remove all links to it, but my firewall shows continuing traffic to this address from another server. I am getting messages from my server with varying port numbers (port number increments by about 20 to 30) to old server port 139. I know this 139 port is old NetBios related... Have checked WINS configuration, DHCP, DNS, but cannot find where this reference is coming from. Using Netstat it says PID 4 {system} is doing this... both Servers are Windows 2003 - messages come about every 3 minutes - - any ideas on how to clean this up and stop it??

Was the server you removed a domain controller?

yes, it was a domain controller - it co-existed in new domain for a while, and functions were migrated over to new server

Was the domain controller demoted properly?

no, it was not demoted - - that would have probably been a good thing to do - but no (and it is not available to 'demote' now) so is there any method to determine which services are trying to do this, and fix them??

Well, as you've discovered you can't just unplug a domain controller. It has to be demoted. I just dealt with this the other day. There are two specific articles I came across that had all the information I needed to remove the dead domain controller from the working domain controller and active directory. Unfortunately, I don't remember the process and I don't remember the articles. However, I can say that I found all the information by looking in the event viewer and googling the errors, then reading the documentation you will find about improperly removed domain controllers. Your event logs will be full of errors.
