The RPC server is unavailable

I'm getting quite a few Automatic certificate enrollment for local system failed (0x800706ba) The RPC server is unavailable and Certificate enrollment for Local system failed to enroll for a DomainController certificate with request ID N/A from LEVERE.SAE.net\levere (The RPC server is unavailable. 0x800706ba (WIN32: 1722)).

Problem is - it's looking for a server that was dcpromo-ed and removed from the network (Levere.sae.net\levere). Troubling still is I'm working to figure out why on a new DNS server, the A record for our e-mail server would be automatically deleted from DNS, which may or may not be related but am going through all the error logs trying to resolve to deduce (I already turned off aging/scavenging which was already disabled).

How can I remove need for our network to automatically renew a certificate enrollment?

No mention of the old server in any DC - however when I attempt to list servers in site in on DC, it only finds 1 server when it should find 3

Edit: No mention of the old server in any DC - however when I attempt to list servers in site in on ONE DC, Minerva , it only finds 1 server when it should find 3  and lists it as 0 - (null) when on another DC - when you go to that Domain DC, it finds all three servers, none being the old one

I added Domain Controllers to that security group, but why would it be refrencing a server that's no longer on the network?
I have had the issue before I don't remember why to be honest.

Lets see if this actually fixes the problem

The error still pops up maybe twice a day on the old DC, it's occured once on the new DC, so I guess the issue remains?

Sorry - that was a dumb question, I don't.

There are 2 mentions of the certificate under Certification Autorities, CDP, and KRA, is it safe to delete from there as well?
