Hey peeps,
Ran into a command I felt was useful. As many know I’m kind of living in PowerShell these days and one thing I do more and more is moving FSMO roles. Well there is a comand that makes my life easier instead of moving each FSMO manually from 5 different mmc’s.
PDC Emulator = 0
RID Master = 1
Infrastructure Master = 2
Schema Master = 3
Domain Naming Master = 4
The powershell command is:
-Identity = the target domain controller
-OperationMasterRole = the FSMO role
-Force = in the event the FSMO master is offline, you need to sieze the role
Y = will do it for each prompt
A = will just accept all prompts
Move-ADDirectoryServerOperationMasterRole -Identity DC1 -OperationMasterRole 0,1,2,3,4 -Force
Hope this is helpful to someone. 🙂
