I am unable to remove a dc from a child domain in AD as I am getting this error:
Active Directory Domain Services could not transfer the remaining data in directory partition DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=child,DC=parent,DC=root,DC=com to
Active Directory Domain Controller \\servername
"The naming context could not be found."
I have followed the instructions in this article (http://blogs.technet.com/b/the_9z_by_chris_davis/archive/2011/12/20/forestdnszones-or-domaindnszones-fsmo-says-the-role-owner-attribute-could-not-be-read.aspx) and sure enough there is an old decommissioned server listed as the fsmo owner of domaindnszones. So I am trying to run the fixfsmo.vbs script to fix this. However, I cannot get it to run. Every time I get the error:
C:\fixfsmo.vbs(19, 5) (null): The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.
I am currently logged on to the infrastructure master for this domain and I am using the syntax: cscript fixfsmo.vbs dc=domaindnszones,dc=domain,dc=parent,dc=root,dc=com
I am able to browse this partition in both ADSI Edit and DNS so I am completely stuck as to why it is unable to see the domain. I have tried logging on as a domain admin in the child domain and an enterprise admin from the root domain but neither seems to work.
Any help would be appreciated!
