OK, in you original post you had included information that may not have been
relevant and confusing.

When you removed the old server from the domain did you check ADUC to see if
the computer account was removed?

If the records are missing from DNS you can run netdiag /fix to reregister
the machines records in DNS. You probably should do a clean install of the
Active Directory DNS zone. I'll post the article below but just to hit the
high spots, first point all machines and DCs to One DNS server you are going
to the re-install on. Then change the zone to standard primary and then
delete the zone from ADUC in the MSDNS directory. Delete the zone in DNS and
re-create it as AD integrated allow dynamic updates restart the Netlogon
service and run ipconfig /registerdns.
That the main stuff follow the KB article exactly in order.
