I’ve had the script shown below for quite a while, but as I recently tested it successfully against Windows Server 2012 AD (Release Candidate), I thought I would share it with the community.
Note that I have only tested it with single domain forests.
Import-Module activedirectory [string] $menu = @' Active Directory FSMO Role Holder mover script Please select an option from the list below 1) Move all roles 2) Move the Schema Master (forest) 3) Move the Domain Master (forest) 4) Move the Infrastructure Master (current domain) 5) Move the PDC Emulator (current domain) 6) Move the RID Master (current domain) Select an option.. [1-6]? '@ Write-host "Last command: " $opt -foregroundcolor Blue $opt = Read-Host $menu $target = Read-Host "Target DC for the role(s)?" switch ($opt) { 1 { Move-ADDirectoryServerOperationMasterRole $target DomainNamingMaster, SchemaMaster, PDCEmulator, InfrastructureMaster, RIDMaster -confirm:$false } 2 { Move-ADDirectoryServerOperationMasterRole $target SchemaMaster -confirm:$false } 3 { Move-ADDirectoryServerOperationMasterRole $target DomainNamingMaster -confirm:$false } 4 { Move-ADDirectoryServerOperationMasterRole $target InfrastructureMaster -confirm:$false } 5 { Move-ADDirectoryServerOperationMasterRole $target PDCEmulator -confirm:$false } 6 { Move-ADDirectoryServerOperationMasterRole $target RIDMaster -confirm:$false } default { write-host "You haven't selected any of the available options."; exit } } # End switch loop
Clean and straight forward – nice!

Hi,
I would like to know if you know a method to do this but with multiple child domains, given that each child has their own Domain-wide roles, I’m looking for a script-block that would perhaps loop through all the child domains and perform that action.
any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
