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

I Google searched this morning and had found this:  "
https://superuser.com/questions/1281015/changing-computer-name-on-dns-samba4-ad-server"
which discusses a similarity to your suggestion.

I was concerned because I cannot tell if the OP is referencing 'internal
dns' or 'bind9'. However, what the OP is talking about doing, makes
sense.

(Could be later today before I can get back to this. Hopefully leaving the
SOA as is for the moment is not doing me any serious non-repairable damage.
I have to get some "work" done.)

It doesn't matter if is an 'internal' or 'Bind9' dns server,
they both
use the same info in AD.

As long as everything is working, you can safely wait until you have
some 'dead' time ;-)

To close this thread (I think) just in case someone else ran into the same
type of problem, here is what I did and did not do.

This may not have been the correct course of action but here's what
happened.

I did nothing for a week. This morning, returned to resolve this issue.

I ran "samba-tool dbcheck --cross-ncs" and found I had some errors.
Ran "
samba-tool dbcheck --cross-ncs  --fix", answered "yes" to the
issues listed.

I then went back and ran " ldbsearch -H /usr/local/samba/private/sam.ldb
--cross-ncs --show-binary -b
'DC=samdom.example.com,CN=MicrosoftDNS,DCDomainDnsZones,DC=samdom,DC=example,DC=com'
-s sub '(&(objectClass=dnsNode)(DC=@))' " and it now references
all the
current DC's and the demoted DC is not to be found.

I had to "go back" to check but, it appears that the demote DC and
it's
related DNS issue has corrected itself.

I will check again but, I think my problem may be resolved. Time will tell
the truth.

(I am reserving the right to tag this as resolved until I am sure.)
