[Samba] Fwd: Unable to remove orphan DC replication entries

[Andy Durant]

Yep i tried that too.

Strangely, it attempts to replicate between the old "name" and the new 
name. So i get two replication attempts. One old which fail and the new 
which work

I made sure the hostname and ip were the same as well.
