I'm working SCCM 2007 and have removed some orphaned Distribution Points by going through and removing any application assigned to them and then removing the roles under the Site Systems Folder. The Systems then disappeared from under Site Systems but when I look under Site Status, they're still appearing in the list there and I have no option to delete them. I've tried following this link (http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/2012/02/10/removing-old-orphaned-site-systems-from-the-sms-and-configmgr-2007-database/) and changing their replication field from a 0 to -1 which removes them temporarily but they always return into the Site Status. I can't see them anywhere else in the console, they're definitely not sited under Site Systems so I'm a bit stuck and have 3 sites saying they're in a Critical State in Site Status because the Orphaned Distribution Points are still appearing there and I can't see how to remove them. To clarify, I removed the orphaned Distribution points over a week ago so I doubt it's something like waiting for the system to e them. I've tried rebooting the SCCM server and this has made no difference Attached are images of my Site Status Screen and my Site Systems screen Thanks
