Have you tried standing up a server in the DMZ next to the Schema Master Server (IE. New server in the DMZ). Then transfer the FSMO role to new server.
Just an Idea, Todd -----Original Message----- From: Frank Buechler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2004 12:46 PM To: ActiveDir (E-mail) Subject: [ActiveDir] Moving Schema Master (continued...) Greetings All If you have been following this thread, you know that I am having problems moving the Schema Master role from a server sitting in my DMZ to one sitting in trusted. I have opened up all ports between these two servers, and I am still getting the same error; current FSMO could not be contacted. I am really at a loss! I can't seize the role as the server currently acting as the Schema Master is also an Exchange server, and is hosting IIS. It is not a server that I can take offline and rebuild. I have verified that all requisite rights are in place, I have verified replication, I even called the mfgr. (Netscreen) of the firewall to verify that I did indeed have all ports open. I can't take this server offline to bring it inside, and I don't have a system that I can use as a "swing" server as Roger suggested. Is there anything else that may be preventing me from doing this? I am really getting frustrated! (And behind schedule...) TIA for any help.
