Mark I have moved 4 of the fsmo roles over to the new server,however I cannot move the domain naming master role over. This is the error I get
ntdsutil: roles
fsmo maintenance: connections
server connections: connect to server bilbo
Binding to bilbo ...
Connected to bilbo using credentials of locally logged on user
server connections: q
fsmo maintenance: seize domain naming master
Attempting safe transfer of domain naming FSMO before seizure.
ldap_modify_sW error 0x35(53 (Unwilling To Perform).
Ldap extended error message is 0000214B: SvcErr: DSID-032107C5, problem 5003 (WI
LL_NOT_PERFORM), data 0
Win32 error returned is 0x214b(Only DSAs configured to be Global Catalog servers
should be allowed to hold the Domain Naming Master FSMO role.)
)
Depending on the error code this may indicate a connection,
ldap, or role transfer error.
Role seizure is forbidden in this case
