FSMO Roles in DCDiag

When I run the dcdiag utility I get the following failure-
Starting test: KnowsOfRoleHolders
Warning: CN="NTDS Settings
DEL:ee8bbb3f-15b3-40d6-b5b2-9f7948d487d7",CN=SERVER1,CN=Servers,CN=CCISite,CN=Si
tes,CN=Configuration,DC=ccidom,DC=local is the Schema Owner, but is deleted.

tes,CN=Configuration,DC=ccidom,DC=local is the Domain Owner, but is deleted.
......................... SERVER1 failed test KnowsOfRoleHolders

Can anyone decipher what wrong with the roleholders as the DC that holds the schema and domain naming roles says its OK

The (del) basically means its a deleted object
The most likely scenario is you had a DC that held these roles and was demoted. This caused graceful transfer of the FSMO roles to another machine
The (del) objects will remain until their tombstone lifetimes has passed

If this Dc is not aware of the FSMO roles being moved you might want to check replication
Try creating an object and ensure it shows up on this DC

You might also try the "netdom query fsmo" command just for a second opinion
