Hello,
I have been trying to resolve an issue I have with regards to the schema master and domain naming master FSMO roles. I lost the PDC aka DC02 recently. The server failed to and is stuck in a boot loop ever since the server was updating and it shutdown during the update.
We then proceeded to seize the FSMO roles from the server in elevated CMD to DC01 which the results showed that it worked. A check with CMD showed that DC01 is not the FSMO roles holder for all roles.
However we were receiving errors from Group Policy manager "the specified domain controller cannot be contacted" or "network name cannot be found". Using Powershell to check the roles again it was observed that only 3 of 5 roles were actually transferred as shown below.
Another attempt was made to transfer the roles, this time using powershell. Despite the transfer completed successfully the Roles Domain Naming Master and Schema Master remained blank.
I was hoping there would be a way to go in a set these roles to DC01 manually. i.e. to edit the file this information is stored or is there any other way to have this resolved without having to build a new network. This process would be very difficult as we have our own email system.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
