Transferring operations master roles

Transferring an operations master role means moving it from one domain controller to another, with the cooperation of the original role holder. Depending upon the operations master role to be transferred, you perform the role transfer using one of the three Active Directory snap-ins.

Role Snap-in
Schema master Active Directory Schema
Domain naming master Active Directory Domains and Trusts
Relative identifier master  Active Directory Users and Computers 
PDC emulator Active Directory Users and Computers
Infrastructure master Active Directory Users and Computers
