RE: errors after migration

Hi Jochen,

First I want to explain that we strongly recommend not to transfer the
infrastucture master role to a DC that hosts a GC. From your description, I
noticed that have done so.

Now I think we need to check if the FSMO roles are transfered successfully.

To determine which domain controller holds the RID master, PDC emulator, or
infrastructure master roles, perform the following steps.
1. Open Active Directory Users and Computers.
2. In the console tree, right-click Active Directory Users and Computers,
and then click Operations Masters.
3. Click the RID, PDC, or Infrastructure tab.

The name of the current operations master appears under Operations master.

To determine which domain controller holds the domain naming master role,
perform the following steps:
1. Open Active Directory Domains and Trusts.
2. Right-click Active Directory Domains and Trusts, and then click
Operations Master.
The name of the current domain naming master appears in the Change
Operations Master dialog box.

To determine which domain controller holds the schema master role, perform
the following steps:
1. Register the Active Directory Schema snap-in by running the following
command:
regsvr32.exe %systemroot%\system32\schmmgmt.dll
2. Click OK to close the message that indicates the registration succeeded.
3. Create a custom Microsoft Management Console (MMC) console.
4. Add the Active Directory Schema snap-in to the console.
5. In the console tree, right-click Active Directory Schema, and then click
Operations Master.
The name of the current schema master appears in the Change Schema Master
dialog box.

If the transfer failed, please follow the article to perform it again:

But please note:not to transfer the infrastucture master role to a DC that
hosts a GC.
