RE: [ActiveDir] DSQuery shows wrong DC as holding role

The DCs definitely need to agree on FSMO ownership. Forcing a replication might help, but its hard to imagine some changes replicating and others not. Usally its an all-or-nothing affair between replication partners.

 

The infrastructure master should not be on a GC, although in a single domain forest I don't think the infrastructure master actually does anything.

Subject: [ActiveDir] DSQuery shows wrong DC as holding role

I am working on a test lab (just built between today and yesterday).  I have 2 DC's, DC1 and DC2.  I just moved the FSMO roles to even them out a bit. This is how they are right now:

 

DC1 - PDC, SCHEMA, and GC (I know this is not a FSMO)

DC2 - RID, NAME, INFRA

 

My only problem is that DSQuery shows DC1 as the holder of the Infrastructure role.  However, if I go to AD Users and Computers I see DC2 as the holder of that role.  I looked in the even log and both servers have an events 1458, 836, 837 and 566 relating to this move.  There are no errors after this move.  Do I need to force a replication? I made the role change 90 minutes ago.  Thanks in advance.
