You could try to transfer the Schema Role before you seize it....

Do not seize the schema master role if you can transfer it instead.
Seizing the schema master role is a drastic step that should be considered
only if the current operations master will never be available again. For
more information about transferring operations master roles, see Related
Topics.

Joe,
It seems that the root should be stabilized before you begin resurrecting
any child objects. The schema master must be online before any exchange
installation/resurrection takes place. Seizing the role of the Schema
master and collapsing the root domain is probably not the preferred method
of DR.
Just a thought,

A DR test... interesting. I have created such a procedure once for one of
my customers...damn what a rush! ;-)
Is this W2K or W2K3 AD?
What are the errors or notifications you have experienced when trying to
install exchange?
Cheers,

Subject: [ActiveDir] seize schema master question
Hello!
Our company recently went through a DR test and had some interesting
results. One in particular is that we couldnât get Exchange installed
because it couldnât write to the Schema (schema master was not restored).
Here is my question: we have an empty root (where the schema master lives)
that we did NOT restoreâ and we have our primary domain where users and
Exchange lives (this is the domain that we restored). Could I have seized
the Schema master role and moved it to the restored (child domain) or
should we have restore the root?
I am going to try this in the lab this week but I wanted some feedback â
past experiences, how some of you would recommend doing this, etc.
As always, Thanks!
