How many of the five FSMO roles did you sieze?
The Global Catalog is not one of the five FSMO roles. Move the global
catalog in AD Sites & Services, then expand down to the properties of the
NTDS settings.

Show me the output.

This is the NetBIOS name of the computer, which is also the computer's host
name.
So the computer name _will_ be "acme.acme.com"

OK so which is the domain name, acme.com or acme.org?

Probably in the DNS search list but since you refuse to post your ipconfig
/all that is the best _guess_ you can get from me.
Is it that big a deal you cannot type ipconfig /all and paste it to a post?
Then give me the domain name from AD Users & Computers?
Try following the lookup for acme.com with a trailing dot like "acme.com."
this prevent nslookup from appending suffixes.
Apparently you think this information is not important or you think you''ll
expose something to me that I don't need to know. All of this is important
for proper AD operation and I am spending a lot of _my_ time trying to help
you When refuse to post what I need to see , how can I help you?
May I suggest if that you don't want it posted in this public forum, then
you should call Microsoft Product Support Services. I do this on my time and
there are other posters needing help and I help them. But, trying to get the
information I need for proper diagnosis from you is like pulling healthy
teeth.
