Hello All, In my organization it's running windows 2003 DC server. Yesterday I have installed Windows 2008 server and also configured ADC. Today I have tranferred 4 roles: 1. RID Master role 2. PDC Emulater role 3. Infrastructure master role 4. Domain naming master role After that i have transferred Schema master role, the result showing successfully transferred schema master role. I have tried windows 2008 "netdom query fsmo". It's showing roles details below: Schema master role "pdc.mail.com" domain naming master role "windows08.mail.com" rid master role "windows08.mail.com" pdc emulater master role "windows08.mail.com" infrastructure master role "windows08.mail.com" After one time i have tried to transfer schema master role from pdc server to windows08 server it's showing error: "The current Active Directory Domain Controller is the operations master.To transfer the operations master to a different DC, you need to target Active Directory schema to that DC." How i will transfer schema master role from pdc.mail.com to windows08.mail.com server. Please i need your help. Thanks & Regards, Santh

Hi, Don't you just need to select the desired operations master server before selecting the move? Leuf

Hello, Thanks for your reply mail. I am not undersatnd this information. If you don't mind please explain more. I have tried both servers(PDC,WINDOWS08). But it's showing same error. Thanks & Regards, Santh

In the gui where you change the schema master. The current schema master is selected by default - you should be able to select another server in this gui. Leif

Hello, I have tried to transfer the schema master role on windows08 server in mmc console. But it's showing same error. After that i have tried command mode ntdsutil command. In this command also showing same error. I have tried gui and also command mode. Both sides are showing same error. Regards, Santh
