Thanks Rowland.    Yes,  I tried that, the A record in the forward zone and the PTR record in the reverse zone for the old machine (LION-X99) was deleted, but still getting these errors for the new machine (LION).   Or did you mean deleting the tombstoned records?

BTW it created the A record in the forward zone automatically when I joined the new machine to the domain.   It's just the PTR record that's not being allowed to be created automatically.
