I hve somebody who is trying a DR on a Child Domain DC,tried to sieze the FSMO roles and gets an error. It seems they don't have Enterpise Admin rights. To complicate the problem, they are trying to recover the child domain controller first. They do nothave the Parent DC backup.

Out of luck?

and what about DNS? Unless that is on the network with the zone for the child domain, Active Directory won't work.

There are myrid of other issues, one of which is the Global Catalog server, plus settings inherited from the parent domain.
