LocatorCheck Test Failed -- PDC_REQUIRED

just demoted old pdc , added , promoted new pdc.  dcdiag passed tests before promoting.  have not raised functional level 2008 yet.

i believe scrubbed old pdc dns though have seen show in queries (can't remember which).

dcdiag on pdc still has no errors.

other dcs have error:

warning: dcgetdcname(pdc_required) call failed, error 1355
primary domain controller not located.
server holding pdc role down.

on dcs netdom query fsmo list pdc roles.

on dcs nltest /dclist:domain.com lists correct dc pdc.

the pdc seems authoritative time server.

in dfs management, when try list namespaces receive following error:

\\domain.com\namespace:  namespace cannot queried. specified domain either not exist or not contacted.

replication groups populate.

i need troubleshooting.  thanks

i think forgot delete entry of old dc dns following locations.
