[Samba] Demoted dc not completely demoted, maybe?

[Robert Wooden]

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,DC=
DomainDnsZones,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.)
