This usually happens when you have extra GPOs stored in Sysvol, they
are also in AD, so the command thinks they exist, but cannot find them
on disc, hence '(No such file or directory)'

If you have correctly synced the contents of the 'sysvol' directory and
idmap.ldb from the old DC to the new DC, then it should work.

How about 'DC' ?
All DCs are equal except for the FSMO roles and they can be shared out
amongst several DCs, they do not all have to be on the same DC.
Please do not call a DC a 'PDC', a PDC is something else entirely and
calling an AD DC a PDC can lead to confusion ;-)

Are you still getting the same error ?
