Thanx Meinolf,
FSMO roles (are these really bad results?):
Alrange1 (problematic one)
Testing server: Default-First-Site\ALRANGE1
is the Schema Owner, but is deleted.
is the Domain Owner, but is deleted
is the PDC Owner, but is deleted.
is the Rid Owner, but is deleted.
is the Infrastructure Update Owner, but is deleted
Alrange2 (running fine)
Testing server: Default-First-Site\ALRANGE2
is the Schema Owner, but is deleted.
is the Domain Owner, but is deleted
is the PDC Owner, but is deleted.
is the Rid Owner, but is deleted.
is the Infrastructure Update Owner, but is deleted.
that's what I suspected and feared...restore,
there is not other way, I guess?
will have to wait till weekend to disconnect
