Replication seems to be working, repadmin /showrepl shows :-

(Similar results are seen from the other DC) so replication would appear to be OK. As the error says, the server knows that it has the schema FSMO role, but does not consider it to be valid. This may have come about some time ago when I had a DC crash and
had to sieze the roles.
U:\>netdom query fsmo
Schema owner proliant-dl360.daveathome.org
Domain role owner proliant-dl360.daveathome.org
PDC role proliant-dl360.daveathome.org
RID pool manager proliant-dl360.daveathome.org
Infrastructure owner proliant-dl360.daveathome.org
The command completed successfully.
Replmon also shows that replication seems to be working. The old DC will never return, so can anyone tell me how I can get this DC to consider the schema to be valid or how else to recover the situation please ?
regards
Dave
