When working with Active Directory one of the common tasks is to move FSMO roles between servers. Well, maybe not that common but it happens from time to time where you have to move all or just some of the FSMO roles. For that purposes, there is single PowerShell command Move-ADDirectoryServerOperationalMasterRole. Sure you can do this via GUI but if there's one command available to fix it all why bother? To make the move one has to be a Domain Admin, Enterprise Admin and Schema Admin. Everything was going smoothly for some roles but wasn't working for others.
PS C:\Windows\system32> Move-ADDirectoryServerOperationMasterRole -OperationMasterRole SchemaMaster
cmdlet Move-ADDirectoryServerOperationMasterRole at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:
Identity: XXXXXXX
Move Operation Master Role
Do you want to move role 'SchemaMaster' to server 'XXXXXXX.domain.pl' ?
