No. In that case it looks like the two DCs might have conflicting information about how the FSMO roles are distributed.
What happens when you run the command against both servers? For example, netdom query fsmo /server:YourDC1 and then netdom query fsmo /server:YourDC2 If that still gives no further clue then consider running DCPROMO again using the /forceremoval switch, as described in the following article. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;332199 If you use this method then you will need to perform a metadata cleanup, which is described in another KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;216498 Tony -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Danny Sent: Tuesday, 21 June 2005 9:10 a.m. To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] Attemping to remove DC - NTDS Replication 2022 Er ror On 6/20/05, Tony Murray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Danny > > Have you tried the suggested workaround, i.e. to transfer the FSMO role(s) > to your other DC and then try DCPROMO again? > > To find out how the roles are distributed you can run the command; > > netdom query fsmo Yes, all the roles have been transferred to the other DC. > To find out more about transfer of roles have a look at the following KB > article. > > http://support.microsoft.com/?id=324801 If all the roles listed from a 'netdom query fsmo' are on the other DC, does this KB apply?
