   Install was setup here: newdomain.olddomain.com
   Moved to here: newdomain.com
   **note: olddomain.com does have its own install of wp.

   Problem:
   I moved a wp install to a new domain, the site works, but wp-login is still trying to redirect back to the old domain wp-admin when I hit http://newdomain.com/wp-admin/

   it redirects to this..

   http://olddomain.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://newdomain.com/wp-admin/&reauth=1

   Essentually, trying to log into the root wp-admin in olddomain.com

   Workaround:
   I did save the URL/Home in settings>general before moving.
   I got new wp-admin to work by adding:
   define('WP_HOME','http://newdomain.com');
   define('WP_SITEURL','http://newdomain.com);
   ..to the wp-config

   Question:
   But what I want to know.. where is newdomain.com storing the reference to olddomain.com?

   If I remove those define's from the config, it breaks. It's as if the DB wont update the new domain location.

   Sure did. Even double checked the .htaccess file.

   I have a feeling it's save in the DB someplace.

   Since you have this in wp-config.php file
   

   define('WP_HOME','http://newdomain.com');
   define('WP_SITEURL','http://newdomain.com);

   and it breaks you website if you take them out.

   You will need to reset your urls in database I have video on my website shows how reset urls.
