Hello,

 

I read in your first line that you have multiple DC's. That's a good thing!

 

I would scrap this broken DC, even though it has the FSMO roles on. I would then Seize the FSMO Roles on to another DC.

 

To do that, open a PowerShell window on a DC that you would like to Seize the FSMO roles to and then type the following command. Just make sure you enter your DC name where it says Target_DC_name

 

Move-ADDirectoryServerOperationMasterRole -Identity "Target_DC_name" –OperationMasterRole PDCEmulator,RIDMaster,InfrastructureMaster,SchemaMaster,DomainNamingMaster

 

Any issues or questions let me know, Happy to help further if I can.

 

Richard
