Forcefully Seizing FSMO Roles

Just have a bit of a clearout and I found my old personal Knowledge base articles, Going to post a few up here so here goes:

How to Seize Fsmo roles by force
I last had to do this when my DCs were out of sync and i was getting the error:
"The destination server is currently rejecting replication requests" whenever i tried to manually sync the DCs.

To seize all FSMO roles logon to the server that will be the new role holder, open a command windows and type:
ntdsutil
roles
connections
connect to server SERVERNAME
q
?
seize RID master
seize pdc
seize infrastructure master
seize naming master
seize schema master

TO verify this has worked typed
Netdom query FSMO
