I am having an issue with a Server 2008 R2 Domain Controller. Originally my site had 2 DC's, a Server 2008 DC, Server A, (Original Server), and a Server 2008 R2, Server B, (Newer Server). Both Servers were operational as a Primary Domain
Controller and a Secondary. The domain was created on Server A, Server B was added 2 years later. All FSMO roles were still residing on Server A.
Server A suffered a hardware failure that brought it completely offline. I tried to seize the FSMO roles from Server B and was able to seize all but the PDC Role. I get the following error:
Attempting safe transfer of PDC FSMO before seizure.
ldap_modify_sW error 0x34(52 (Unavailable).
Ldap extended error message is 000020AF: SvcErr: DSID-03210581, problem 5002 (UN
AVAILABLE), data 8524
Win32 error returned is 0x20af(The requested FSMO operation failed. The current
FSMO holder could not be contacted.)
)
Depending on the error code this may indicate a connection,
ldap, or role transfer error.
Transfer of PDC FSMO failed, proceeding with seizure ...
ldap_modify of fsmoRoleOwner failed with 0x1(1 (Operations Error).
Ldap extended error message is 000020EF: SvcErr: DSID-02080615, problem 5012 (DI
R_ERROR), data -1414
Win32 error returned is 0x20ef(The directory service encountered an unknown fail
ure.)
I have not seen this error message before and am at a loss as to how to proceed. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
