In this post let's learn how to transfer FSMO Roles. It's very easy to Transfer FSMO Roles. when you say
that you are going to transfer the FSMO Roles it means all five Roles you are going to move between domain Controllers it can be imitated either by Administrator or by demoting Domain Controller. FSMO Roles Transfer is never initiate by Operating System itself. so let's learn how to Transfer FSMO Roles from
one Domain to another domain. I will update the screen shot as well don't worry. For example if you want to transfer the Schema Master Role you must first run a command which "regsvr32 schmmgmt" otherwise you will not be able to transfer the schema Master Role between domain Controller. There are two way to transfer the FSMO Roles Either by using GUI or by Ntdsutil.exe command line tool. you can use Active directory Schema snap-in or Active Directory domain and Trust and you can use Active Directory user and computer snap-in too depends which role you want to transfer. I will let you know how to transfer the schema Role so first of all you need run the same command regsvr32 schmmgmt.dll on the server you want transfer the role from. After you run the command regsvr32 schmmgmt.dll you must get the message on the screen.
As you see in image you will also get the same message on the screen if you run the right command . Then
click on start>Administrative Tool>Active Directory domain and Trust>right click and select the option change domain controller as shown in screenshot
