DCDIAG Errors on a new Windows 2000 DC

We were having problems with our old DC (RP01) and I just added another DC (PDC) to the network.

I am ready to bring the old one down, but I am having a few issues that seem to be DNS related but I don't really know.

If you run a DCDIAG from a non-dc Exchange box, I get this:

If I run it on the DC itself, everything seems to be working ok.

My other issue is that I have a Terminal Server box and when I unplug the old DC, users won't get authenticated, saying that the RPC server is unavailable. I am assuming that it's still looking for the old DC (RP01). Why doesn't it find the new DC?

I'm concerned about bringing the old DC down now, but this puppy needs to go. It's on its last leg.

Any help troubleshooting this would be appreciated.
