I have sandboxed a production DC as a vmware guest OS. Now, I need to
enable all the FSMO roles on this virtual DC. Connecting the
production domain is not an option.

How I can force the virtual DC to assume all the FSMO roles?

Hi,

You can perform a seizure of the FSMO role, for details:

Hi

Adding to wickydog, just make sure that you won't connect that machine again
in your production domain.

I hop that helps
