Trying to change RID operations manager
Hi
Im trying to change Operation master from DC 1 to DC2 and everytime I am doing that I get the following error.
"The transfer of the operations master role cannot be performed because:
The requested FSMO operation failed. The current FSMO holder could not be contacted"
I tried forcing it through the cmd but still it didnt go through. please let me know how can i change my RID to DC 2
thank you

Hello,
why is no "Primary DNS Suffix " shown in the ipconfig output from DC2-2K8?
If you open the system properties, choose change settings, computername tab, change button(ignore the warning) yes, More button, is the domain name listed under "Primary DNS suffix
of this computer"?
