Re: Operations Master Replication Issue Event ID 13562



Thanks you for you input. I just have some concerns using NTDSUTIL to seize
role as follows:

Current FSMO roles

FSMO Role Server OS

PDC Emulator WISE Windows 2000
SP4 Domain Controller

Infrastructure Master WISE Windows 2000 SP4
Domain Controller

Relative ID (RID) WISE " " "

Schema Master WISE " " "

Domain Naming Master MORECAMBE Windows 2000 SP4 Domain
Controller

Other Servers

HARDY
Windows 2003 SP1

REEVES
Windows 2003 SP1 Domain Controller

The problem is with the Domain Naming Master. This server is running SQL and
an important system. What I have read about NTDSUTIL and seizing roles is
that the domain controller which has its role seized needs to come off the
network and re-install operating system which is rather drastic!

If I'm reading your reply correctly, can I seize the role from another
server. Then on the MORECAMBE server, demote using DCPROMO, do a metabase
cleanup and then make the MORECAMBE server a domain controller again using
DCPROMO. Should I need to do anything else? Would any applications and this
server be effected?

Kind Regards

Phil
