I'm attempting to use ntsutil and the seize ROLE command..

 

Our old DC,which held all 5 roles.. has died and will not be revived..

 

I was guessing that i just use the ntdsutil utility to seize them..

 

but when i try this.. i get an error stating the orginal owner couldnt

be contacted..

 

How else can I get these roles transfered to this new server if i cant

revive the old one?

 

Thanks in advance

See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/255504 and review your steps.... and if

you still get errors, post the exact text.

That was the page i was using to do this.. here is what happens:

(PSTDC is the dead server, VSDC01 is the new one)

 

 

fsmo maintenance: seize PDC

Attempting safe transfer of PDC FSMO before seizure.

ldap_modify_sW error 0x34(52 (Unavailable).

Ldap extended error message is 000020AF: SvcErr: DSID-03210511,

problem 5002 (UN

AVAILABLE), data 1722

 

Win32 error returned is 0x20af(The requested FSMO operation failed.

The current

FSMO holder could not be contacted.)

)

Depending on the error code this may indicate a connection,

ldap, or role transfer error.

Transfer of PDC FSMO failed, proceeding with seizure ...

Server "vsdc01" knows about 5 roles

Schema - CN=NTDS Settings,CN=PSTDC,CN=Servers,CN=Default-First-Site-

Name,CN=Site

Domain - CN=NTDS Settings,CN=PSTDC,CN=Servers,CN=Default-First-Site-

PDC - CN=NTDS Settings,CN=VSDC01,CN=Servers,CN=Default-First-Site-

I should mention that this VSdc01 server was just created (before

trying to seize the roles).. i did a dcpromo on it.. perhaps i need to

do this seizure on my other remaining DC (all of the 5 roles were held

on the dead PSTDC server that i'm trying to seize)..

This is normal.....

Hmmm - I don't remember what the messages usually look like, but I do know

you'll see something indicating failure when it can't find the old server -

it's trying to transfer before it continues with the seize request.

Well - you could, but are you 100% sure this hasn't worked??

 

You might try posting in microsoft.public.windows.server.active_directory

.....I'm not a guru by any stretch of the imagination.
