When you use Ntdsutil.exe to seize, or transfer, the Schema Master operations master role, you receive:

   fsmo maintenance: seize schema master   Attempting safe transfer of schema FSMO before seizure.   ldap_modify_sW error 0x32(50 (Insufficient Rights).   Ldap extended error message is 00002098: SecErr: DSID-0315137D, problem 4003   (INSUFF_ACCESS_RIGHTS), data 0

You might also receive:

   Transfer of schema FSMO failed, proceeding with seizure ...   ldap_modify of SD failed with 0x32(50 (Insufficient Rights).   Ldap extended error message is 00002098: SecErr: DSID-031513B8, problem   4003 (INSUFF_ACCESS_RIGHTS), data 0   Win32 error returned is 0x2098(Insufficient access rights to perform the operation.)

Converting 0x2098 to decimal and typing: net helpmsg 8344 returns:

Insufficient access rights to perform the operation.

You must be logged on with an account that is a member of the Enterprise Admins Universal group to seize or transfer the Schema Master operations master role.
