The process of using the command-line utility Ntdsutil to move the FSMO roles is essentially the same as with previous versions of Windows Server. However, before you can issue commands, you must ensure that you’ve activated the Active Directory Domain Services (ADDS) instance within Ntdsutil. | Next > |
