Windows Server 2012 R2: Enabling the Active
Directory Recycle Bin from the Active Directory Administrative Center "The FSMO role ownership could not be
verified because its directory partition has not replicated successfully with
at least one replication partner." prevents you from enabling the
Active Directory Recycle Bin.
From an Administrative Command Prompt I used the
following command to confirm the FSMO role holders.
|
netdom query
fsmo
|
Everything looked normal here so I continued to the next step which was to run the Active Directory Best Practice Analyser from Server Manager.
The Active Directory BPA came back with the error
"The primary domain controller
(PDC) emulator specification master in this forest is not configured to
correctly synchronize time from a valid time source".
I used the following command from an
Administrative CMD to configure the PDC Emulator to use time.microsoft.com
as it's authoritive time source.
|
w32tm /config
/manualpeerlist:time.microsoft.com /syncfromflags:manual
/reliable:yes /update
|
I then issued this command on all of the other
Domain Controllers to ensure they reflected the changes.
|
w32tm /config
/syncfromflags:domhier /update
|
After this I re-run the Active Directory Best
Practice Analyser and the error had been resolved.
I could then continue and enable the Active
Directory Recycle Bin.
