This TechSoup user is having a problem with FSMO roles using Active Directory. The first domain controller (DC1) shows and thinks it is the FSMO. The second (DC2) and third (DC3) domain controllers point to DC1 as the FSMO. When the user tries to create a new user, group, computer, etc., the user receives RID errors, saying a RID master can’t be found. The user is able to create new users, groups, etc. in Active Directory on DC2 and DC3, even though these point to DC1 as the FSMO. When the user attempts to transfer of the five roles to DC2 and DC3, the user receives the error message,”Cannot find the PDC emulator.”
Has anyone done a successful seizing of any of the five roles with the Ntdsutil.exe command line utility?
Can you help this user? Answer it here!
