Hi, I faced with trouble while adding new domain controller. The situation is: I have only one dc (Windows Server 2012 trial, its name dc1.mydomain.com), it stops to work few days ago - and it is impossible to activate it. So I decided to build secondary domain controller based on correct Windows Server 2012 Standard (dc2.mydomain.com). All was done except one role:
netdom query fsmo
Schema master dc1.mydomain.com
Domain name master dc2.mydomain.com
PDC dc2.mydomain.com
RID pool manager dc2.mydomain.com
Infrastructure master dc2.mydomain.com
So when I'm trying to change Active Directory Domain Controller in Active Directory Schema snap-in I receive message:
"Active Directory Schema snap-in is not connected to the schema operations master. You will not be able to perform any changes. Schema modifications can only be made on the schema FSMO folder."
So I thought the problem is in Operations Master:
"The schema master manages modifications to the schema. Only one server in the enterprise performs this role.
Current schema master (online): dc1.mydomain.com
To transfer the schema master role to the targeted schema FSMO holder below, click Change: dc2.mydomain.com"
When I pressed Change button I recieve error:
"the current fsmo holder cannot be contacted". What is a problem with my new FSMO holder, how do you think? What exactly shoul I check? Thank you for support.
