Transfer FSMO roles
1. Log on to domain controller that is located in the forest where FSMO roles are being transferred. It is recommended that you log on to the domain controller that you are assigning FSMO roles to.
Note: The logged-on user should be a member of the Enterprise Administrators group to transfer Schema master or Domain naming master roles, or a member of the Domain Administrators group of the domain where the PDC emulator, RID master and the Infrastructure master roles are being transferred.
2. Click Start, click Run, type ntdsutil in the Open box, and then click OK.
3. Type roles, and then press ENTER.
4. Type connections, and then press ENTER.
5. Type connect to server <servername>, where <servername> is the name of the server you want to use (i.e. domain controller that you are assigning FSMO roles to), and then press ENTER.
6. At the server connections: prompt, type q, and then press ENTER again.
7. Type transfer <role>. where <role> is the role you want to transfer, press ENTER.
Example:
transfer schema master
transfer domain naming master (In Server 2003)
transfer naming master (In Server 2008)
transfer rid master
transfer pdc
transfer infrastructure master
8. You will receive a warning message asking if you want to perform the transfer. Click on Yes.
