I found that a recently moved FSMO Role is now in the
LostandFound. I moved the PDC and Naming Roles to a
different server before upgrading another DC and I
recently found that these roles had not moved properly. I
was able to force the PDC role to a third DC but I am not
able to do this for the Naming Master. Using ntdsutil, I
found it in the lostandfound folder in users and
computers. Anyone know how to retreive this?

Thanks,
Louis Goodbrod
 
Hi Louis,

To move the FSMO Role or Sieze the role... Follow the following Q Article:
223787 Flexible Single Master Operation Transfer and Seizure Process

Also you may want to read this Article:

Keep in mind the Domain Naming Master can only be placed on a server that is
also a Global Catalog server too.
 
Thanks, I think it worked. I guess i'll sit and watch it
for a while just to make sure.
