STATUS_DS_INCORRECT_ROLE_OWNER
The selected DC is not the required operation master
Some Active Directory changes are single-master operations. A DC that is healthy for normal reads and writes may still be the wrong server for a RID, schema, domain-naming, infrastructure or PDC-emulator operation.
This status should drive role-owner discovery. Repeating the request against random DCs can create noisy failures; the caller or administrator should identify the specific FSMO role required by the operation.
What to inspect
- Run FSMO role discovery and compare it with the DC that received the request.
- Check replication so all DCs agree on current role ownership.
- Use supported role transfer or seizure procedures only when the actual role owner is unavailable.
