Moved fsmo roles to different server

[Guest]

I ran dcpromo on my new server and then made it a catalog server and
transfered the fsmo rules over to it from the other DC. Now I have an
warning from ntfrs that states
File Replication Service is scanning the data in the system volume. Computer
SERVER0 cannot become a domain controller until this process is complete. The
system volume will then be shared as SYSVOL.

To check for the SYSVOL share, at the command prompt, type:
net share

When File Replication Service completes the scanning process, the SYSVOL
share will appear.

The initialization of the system volume can take some time. The time is
dependent on the amount of data in the system volume.

I also ran dcdiag and received the following:

Hello,
Install the Windows Support Tools found on your Windows Server CD, use the
command line based tool repadmin.exe with the syntax below.

repadmin /showreps /v

Correct any reported issues, or post the output back for assistance.

Blandis,

Chriss took the words right out of my mouth! Install the Support Tools (
although using the Service Pack CD Media or the direct download from the MS
Site might be a better idea than using the Support Tools from the Server CD
Media ) and run repadmin /showreps /v as well as repadmin /showconn. You
can also use 'netdom query fsmo' - without the quotes - and use replmon.

I would also say that you could look in the Event logs on that DC.
