The role owner attribute could not be read

[Guest]

I am trying to add child domain to my existing forest and
operation is failing with the following error:" The role
owner attribute could not be read" Event log shows error
ID:1168

Try transfering or seizing all 5 FSMO roles to a different domain
controller in the Forest Root.
