Anyone interested in testing a FSMO Role Transfer GUI? If so, please email me at jd.williams@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and I'll send you a copy.

Essentially a front end for the NETDOM and NTDSUTIL exe and was generally an exercise in working with external exe and discovering the McAfee sees some of the .net code as buffer overflows and keeps text from showing up in combo-boxes.  That was fun. I'd rate the app towards the novelty side of the Novelty ßà Useful continuum.  But hey, it's a better use of email and time than Elf Bowling!  Works in both my test and production environment.

Oh, also only transfers the domain roles.  Does not transfer the schema owner or domain role owner, but does list the DCs holding those roles.

Thanks,

JD

We could make it available as a download at ActiveDir.org
if you like.  I'm sure a lot of people would be
interested.

Neil,



Essentially, you are correct.  There's
not a lot of difference.  It does allow you to select the DC to transfer
the role to where the ADUC just tells you where it's going to end up.  That's
the only thing I can think of that might have appeal and is different between
the two interfaces. 



In my environment, ADUC takes time to
open, so there's some value to me in having the single source tool. 
Want to measure that value?  Probably need a nanometer.  Time saved
by the few times a year we'd need to do the role change vs. the time
spent working up the app probably leads to an ROI in a galaxy far far away.



At any rate, it was a learning opportunity
for me.  If anyone derives utility from it, so much the better!

Thanks,
JD

You can™t transfer the schema or domain naming fsmo™s from
ADUC. Personally I just use ntdsutil and know the syntax off the top of my
head, but, if you don™t do this often it might be useful to have a
central point of control.



Thanks,

... but this (new) tool cannot transfer
the forest roles either.

Hence my question.

You
can™t transfer the schema or domain naming fsmo™s from ADUC. Personally I just
use ntdsutil and know the syntax off the top of my head, but, if you don™t do
this often it might be useful to have a central point of
control.


Thanks,Brian

What are the
advantages/benefits of this UI vs U&C?

I can transfer all
domain roles from that UI today?

GUI
Anyone interested in
testing a FSMO
Role Transfer GUI? If so, please email me at jd.williams@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and I'll
send you a copy.
Essentially a front end for the
NETDOM and NTDSUTIL exe and was generally an exercise in working with external
exe and discovering the McAfee sees some of the .net code as buffer overflows
and keeps text from showing up in combo-boxes.  That was fun. I'd rate
the app towards the novelty side of the Novelty Ãà Useful
continuum.  But hey, it's a better use of email and time than Elf
Bowling!  Works in both my test and production
environment.
Oh, also only transfers the domain
roles.  Does not transfer the schema owner or domain role
owner, but does list the DCs holding those roles.
Thanks,

JD
