Domain Controller FSMO

Hi,

We currently have an issue where the domain controllers that handled services:
Schema owner
Domain role owner

The domain controller it is assigned to is no longer available, I have managed to kill it using ntdsutil however I need change the roles to an active domain controller.

Any idea how I can make this happen as I have attempted to do this work via Active Directory Schema but had displayed an error.

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,

introlux

When I try connect to that DC, I get the following error:

DsBindWithSpnExW error 0x6ba(The RPC server is unavailable.)
Weird, every time I do a metadata cleanup against an FSMO holder it tried to transfer and then seize automatically
it worked, i just needed to use the local DC I was on rather than trying to log onto the dead DC :-/
Glad to hear that... :)
Great and thank you!
