#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : FSMO roles are on a domain controller that is gone Fix : Bring it back and transfer the roles properly Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/srv-id-fsmo Run as : Elevated PowerShell Expect : 40 minutes Risk : medium Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX The holder can be brought back online. A transfer is always preferable to a seizure. HOW TO UNDO IT Roles can be transferred back the same way. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
