• [2014-01-24] UPDATE: I noticed a small bug in the script, that i updated quickly. The Domain Naming Master role could not be found and displayed.
• Before you can use the script: Look if the path to NTDSUTIL.EXE is in the %PATH% variable, to call it globally. Or copy NTDSUTIL.EXE into the script directory. CHOICE.EXE is used to handle the choosable options in the script.
