Well, the only way to get rid of that is to replicate them to another server, but that’s not possible with this crippled server.

This requires the Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools or the Remote Server Admin features for AD in Server 2008 and Server 2008 R2. I usually go to a domain controller to do this, as it has the ADSI plugin already installed. Once connected, expand the tree to your server in question.
