DCDIAG failed test KnowsOfRoleHolders

[FredUG]

Running DCDIAG to prepare for exchange2k install I see
that it fails to find the schema master (evidently removed
from AD incorrectly) and other roles.

Can I fix this in adsiedit or some other utility or do I
have to start over and recreate my entire AD domain?

Thanks,

you will need to use ntdsutil to seize the FSMO roles.

That was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you!

Now I only have a few more errors from DCDIAG to fix:

Starting test: frssysvol
Error: No record of File Replication System, SYSVOL
started.
The Active Directory may be prevented from starting.
......................... DC-FP-01 passed test
frssysvol

Starting test: kccevent
An Warning Event occured. EventID: 0x800005FE

......................... DC-FP-01 failed test kccevent

Time Generated: 09/12/2003 13:19:27
(Event String could not be retrieved)
......................... DC-FP-01 failed test systemlog

Once these are fixed DCDIAG should pass all tests.

I appreciate the help,
