Hi All,

How do I move all of the FSMO roles to a new server when
the original server is offline. I have tried to use KB
#223787 but I can't make heads or tails of it. I thought
there was a way to move the roles to a new server when the
original fsmo server is dead. Am I wrong and it is not
possible.

Thanks for the help,
John
 
Hello John,

You will have to use ntdsutil and connect to the DC that is still available
and than transfer the roles.

Here is an article that will walk you through this:

Controller

Thank You.
