Re: Operations Masters

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

you may run dcdiag & netdiag.
You may have communication issue between DC.
Any eventlog error about it ?

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?
