Yes, I seized the roles on another local DC. &nbsp;Running readmin /showreps, a replication attempt to the new holder of all the FSMO roles shows &quot;Last attempt @ (never) was successful.&quot; <br />
<br />
running 'netdom query fsmo' on the remote server shows mixed results. &nbsp;It has one of the roles correctly listed (Schema Master), but the rest still show the failed server name. &nbsp;Running that same command on the new recipient of the seized roles shows that it has all the roles assigned.<br />

I just ran dcdiag /fix, and re-ran the netdom query, and now the remote DC shows all the proper roles!<br />
<br />
What else should I verify before calling it good?

double check the event logs (directory services and FRS logs) &nbsp;Just to make sure there are no other issues. &nbsp;Nice work!

Over the weekend our main domain controller failed. &nbsp;I've transferred roles and cleaned up metadata using ntdsutil. &nbsp;A DC in a remote site doesn't seem to be replicating properly; when I run &quot;dcdiag /test:Knowsofroleholders /v' on it, it has the wrong server listed in the FSMO roles.<br />
<br />
How can I be sure that it's replicating, and what else should I check?

DC in remote site isn't replacting after PDC failure
