Hi Joe! Thanks for your response. My answers are in the
same order as your questions. Much appreciated,

1. I originally ran the tool from the domain controller to
which I would like the schema master role transferred.

2. notes.usrenal.com is the old schema master. It is
still in the environment, but is no longer a dc. I can
only conclude from this 'mess' that the old admin demoted
the dc and didn't transfer the roles prior to doing so.

3. There are currently 2 domain controllers. I have run
the tool from both and have encountered the same result.

Thanks again! Matt
