Address: 192.168.500.152

Name: roguesherver.kimconnect.local
Address: 192.168.500.133
Example: entry has been removed
-------------------------------------
C:\Users\176233>nslookup roguesherver
Server: roguesherver.kimconnect.local
Address: 192.168.500.152
*** roguesherver.kimconnect.local can't find roguesherver: Non-existent domain

b. Purge instances of servername in DNS

3. Manually purge the virtual computer name object in AD
