IS-IT--Management
I transfered a DC to a new server about a month ago... I thought that I transfered all the FSMO roles as well, as a matter of fact im sure of it. Its been about two months and im getting soem errors in event viewer problem is the old server that had all five roles on it is no longer available. The three roles that came over are the RID, PDC and the Infrastructure master roles. I need the Schema and and the Domain Naming Master roles to come over as well.
I have used the ADSIedit tools and the NTDSUTIL as well non seem to do the trick perhaps. Im not doing something that I should. I am assuming that I first need to seize the roles then transfer them. This would not be a problem if the origionl server was available. NTDSUTIL is telling me that the current FSMO role could not be contacted!!! Obvelously! WTF the dang thing is no longer on the network...
anyway,
any advice would be helpful.
Thanks,
MEAB
