Samba 4.14.4
Migrated a domain. with a  Rename.
The domain is up and resolving correctly and logs in etc. (seems to function totally correctly)




As stated in documents the GPO point to the old domain.

Old: ns01.Jim.com
New: org.bob.com


However this hangs the windows 10  gpmc.msc tool.

Forest: org.bob.com
Domains: org.bob.com
org.bob.com

as soon as you select the “org.bob.com” to maintain the tree of users/gpo ,etc you get into an endless loop since  “ns01.jim.com” cannot be found (also you might not want it referencing the old domain)

“Domain: ns01.Jim.com”
“The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.”
This then puts the MS tools into a tight loop with no cancel options.


QUESTION:
Where is this reference to  “Domain: ns01.Jim.com”. kept in the LDAP.
Totally deleting the GPO from SYSVOL AND  going into CN=Policies.CN=System. To delete any used GPO links ,  and restarting the  samba does not remove the references.
