I have recently added my first 2008 dc to my domain. I have 2 domain controlers a 2003 and a 2008. I am trying to move my fsmo rules to the 2008 server. All fsmo rules are currently on the 2003 server. The first role i tried to move was the Schema using these steps

Register Schmmgmt.dll



  1. Click Start, and then click Run.
  2. Type regsvr32 schmmgmt.dll in the Open box, and then clickOK.
  3. Click OK when you receive the message that the operation succeeded.

Transfer the Schema Master Role



  1. Click Start, click Run, type mmc in theOpen box, and then click OK.
  2. On the File, menu click Add/Remove Snap-in.
  3. Click Add.
  4. Click Active Directory Schema, click Add, clickClose, and then click OK.
  5. In the console tree, right-click Active Directory Schema, and then clickChange Domain Controller.
  6. Click Specify Name, type the name of the domain controller that will be the new role holder, and then clickOK.
  7. In the console tree, right-click Active Directory Schema, and then clickOperations Master.
  8. Click Change.
  9. Click OK to confirm that you want to transfer the role, and then clickClose.

When I click on Change Domain Controller I get the error The domain controller could not be set. The parameter is incorrect.

When i then click on operations master and try to change it i get the same parameter is incorrect error

here is the output from repadmin
