Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
There are 3 ways of transferring FSMO roles:
✑ Using graphical user interface available on a DC or any server/workstation with Administrative Tools / Remote Server Administration Tools installed.
✑ Using the command-line tool called ntdsutil.
✑ Using the PowerShell cmdlet Move-ADDirectoryServerOperationMasterRole.
To use the ntdsutil utility, you must connect to Domain Controller to which you want to transfer FSMO roles. To do that you have to type: ntdsutil: roles (enter) fsmo maintenance: connections (enter) server connections: connect to server <DC-Name> (enter) server connections: quit (enter) fsmo maintenance:
Now you will be able to transfer FSMO roles to selected Domain Controller.
RID master fsmo maintenance: transfer RID master (enter) Click "Yes" button to move role.

The "Solution" ntdsutil command-line is incorrect. In this problem, “DC1 has failed and cannot be repaired”, so you must use the “seize” command instead of the “transfer” command in fsmo maintenance mode. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/255504/using-ntdsutil-exe-to-transfer-or-seize-fsmo-roles-to-a-domain-control

The proposed solution refer to the transfer option of ntdsutil. We should use the seize option here. Therefore no
