Error Transfering FSMO roles

[Guest]

while tranfering fsmo roles using ntdsutil.exe i am getting following error.

transfer schema master
ldap_modify_sW error 0x34(52 (Unavailable).
Ldap extended error message is 000020AF: SvcErr: DSID-032101BD, problem 5002
(UN
AVAILABLE), data 8524

The 8524 error is " ERROR_DS_DNS_LOOKUP_FAILURE". That suggests that the
server which is known to previously hold the role is either down or cannot
be resolved via DNS. If that server is in fact online then you should fix
the connectivity problem. If it is offline and you never anticipate
bringing it back online then you can seize the role using NTDSUTIL.EXE
instead.

Hi

i would suggest you to register the schmmgmt.dll
and for that run "regsvr32 schmmgmt.dll" on the command prompt
it will register the DLL file

reboot the server
and then try to transfer the FSMO role to the server
