Re: Operations Masters

Yes, it is one of my DC (the 1st installed DC). The "Operations master" in
RID, PDC and Infrastructure is pointing to itself (which is correct).
The rest of the DC (same Domain) should point to the 1st installed DC
instead it shows "ERROR" on the "Operations master" field.
All along it si working fine. I don't know when it happens. I did not remove
any DC nor make changes to the configuration.

Hello,

i think the server that host these FSMO is not reachable.

Is one of your DC (by default, the first you installed) down ?
Did you remove an old DC ?

If this DC won't be back working again, you may transfer fsmo roles (seize
them)
Using Ntdsutil.exe to transfer or seize FSMO roles to a domain controller

In Windows 2003, Active Directory.
Right-click Domain, under "Operations Masters", the "Operations master"
field shown "ERROR" in all RID, PDC and Infrastructure tab.

Any advise what could be the cause?
