dsmgmt.exe cannot be used to seize the rid master. Ntdsutil has to be used. Ntdsutil is a powerful command line tool for managing the Directory Services. It allows you to transfer or seize FSMO Roles. Here is how it can be done for the RID Master role: Run ntdsutil command in an elevated command prompt Type roles, and then press ENTER. Type connections, and then press ENTER. Type connect to server servername, and then press ENTER Note: servername is the name of the domain controller you want to assign the FSMO role to. At the server connections prompt, type q, and then press ENTER. Type transfer rid master to transfer the role (You will need seize rid master command to seize the role) At the fsmo maintenance prompt, type q, and then press ENTER. Type q, and then press ENTER to quit the Ntdsutil utility. Please note, that you cannot seize the FSMO Role using the GUI.
