I am having a problem, and some major bad luck.
We have a server just died and this server was a win2k and was the Operations master for the RID and now I can't seem to claim the title from another server. I get this error:


Active Directory
The transfer of the operations master role cannot be performed because:
The request FSMO operation failed. The current FSMO holder could not be contacted.


Is there any way to force the replication without getting the current FSMO holder online?

Thank you in advance for any help you can give.
