samba - Mar 2018 - Demoted dc not completely demoted, maybe?

I have manually removed all entries of the demoted DC with the exception of
the SOA record.

The DNS Manager (offered by RSAT) will not allow adjustment of the SOA
record.

I have begun searching for a linux solution.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Run this on a DC:

samba-tool dns delete 127.0.0.1 samdom.example.com @ NS fqdn_string -U
Administrator

Replace: 'samdom.example.com' with your dns domain name.
         'fqdn_string' with the old DCs fully qualified dns name, i.e.
         dc.samdom.example.com

Rowland

Replaced as instructed and ran the command. It claimed "success",
however
(RSAT) DNS Manager still shows demoted DC as SOA record.

BTW, this demoted DC is now shut off.

Suggestions?
