Development of this project has come to an end. It was being maintained by a few dedicated engineers from Microsoft outside of their normal work assignments in their spare time. With changing roles and responsibilities, they have moved on to other projects and no longer are able to maintain this code.

The repo will be archived at some time in the future, date to be determined. The code at the time of archive while functional, did not handle retired DCs that were offline but had not been completely removed from Active Directory. The script generates an error because it cannot reach the offline DC. Newer versions of the script that are published elsewhere reportedly address this issue. The offline DC should be removed from AD using ntdsutil, see these articles for guidance. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad-ds/deploy/ad-ds-metadata-cleanup https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/itops-talk-blog/step-by-step-manually-removing-a-domain-controller-server/ba-p/280564

The good news is that there are other coders that have picked up maintaining this code. Some of the other resources that you can check are:
