Hello,
Here is the scenario , in order to add a Win 2003 Server to our single Win 2000 Domain, I beleive I have to seize the schema owner role, and then prepare the domain for a Win 2003 Server.
On opening Active Directory Sites and services I see 2 sites,
Site 1: which holds Server 1,server 2, server 3
Site 2: which holds Server 4.
For some reason unknown to me the previous Sys admin just shut down this server 4 and now it is no where to be found.
I ran the netdom query fsmo command on the DC, and recived the following
Schema master & Domain Role Owner : Server 4.XX.COM
PDC Role ,RID Pool Manager, Infrastructure owner : Server 1.xx.com
Now without the server 4 , I cannot change the schema owner and domain role owner. I believe I have to use ntdsutil.
My question is that if Server 1.xx.com is the PDC Role ,RID Pool Manager, Infrastructure owner and also holds the global catalog.
Should I run the ntdsutil tool from another server say Server 2, so that it becomes the Schema master & Domain Role Owner. What other things should I look out for before I run the ntdsutil utility.
Any help is appreciated in this matter, because of Server 4 disappearing I receive numerous Directory Service and NTFRS Errors in the event viewer also
