Notices

The partition must be completely empty (except for the root object) or the deletion will fail. In addition, no other replicas can exist.

Remove other replicas of the partition beforehand by calling NWDSRemoveReplica.

partitionRoot points to the name of the root object in the partition. Since NWDSRemovePartition must be performed on the partition's master replica, it is assumed the operation will be performed on the server storing this replica.

Aliases are never dereferenced by NWDSRemovePartition. The setting of the Directory context flag associated with DCV_DEREF_ALIASES is not relevant and is ignored.
