I had another look at this and found that the old server was still in "Active Directory Sites and Services" under "Default-First-Site-Name".

I tried to delete it but it complained:
Windows cannot delete object LDAP://gateway2.beger.com.au/CN=NTDS Settings,CN=GATEWAY,CN=Servers,CN=Default-First-Site-Name,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=beger,DC=com,DC=au because: The specified module could not be found

I looked around and found the alias for that server (which is the target_hostname in the log message) and found it was in DNS pointing to the new server.

I deleted it from DNS and the log spam appears to have stopped.

I also checked the samba-tool drs and that still lists the old server:

I'm not sure if that is a real problem and/or if there is a way to point it to the new server.

Can anyone give me a clue?

Thanks.
