Hi,
i've a child domain "DAFA.PAR.BIZ" with one DC (called "DAF") in my AD infrastructure. "DAF" hold the
RID master, PDC Emulator master and Infrastructure master role for the child domain. The
Schema master role is hold by the one of the root domain DC and Domain Naming master role by an old root domain DC (called "NAS" whitout DC role anymore but's it's not me !! ;))
I try to move this last role to the DC who hold the root Domain Naming master role (called"EDI"). The
Active directory trust and domain console says that Operation Master is disconnect and the role cannot be transfert.
So i tried with ntdsutil :
ntdsutil
ntdsutil: roles
fsmo maintenance: connections
server connections: connect to server edi
Link to edi...
Connected
server connections: quit
fsmo maintenance: transfer naming master or fsmo maintenance: seize naming master
but at the end, the role is still hold by NAS
Schema master uly.PAR.BIZ
Domain Naming master nas.PAR.BIZ
PDC Emulator master . DAF.DAFA.PAR.BIZ
RID master DAF.DAFA.PAR.BIZ
Infrastructure master DAF.DAFA.PAR.BIZ
Thanks for your help to move this role
Another AD design question, does this child domain DC "DAF" have to be a Global Catalog (all other DC are) ?
