I think you are going to have to, but I would try a further slight test
first. run this:
ldbsearch --cross-ncs -H ldap://pdc -b
"DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=fisherthompson,DC=local" -s sub -Uadministrator
This should display all your DNS records
Just double check that they don't exist.
If you then go on to seize the roles, use the '--force' option with
'samba-tool fsmo seize' , this will bypass trying to transfer the role
first.
I would transfer anything on the windows DC that you may need, then turn
it off. You should then be able to seize the roles. Do not bring the old
DC back on line unless you stop the DC software from starting, I would
also change its hostname and if possible, its ipaddress.
