FSMO role ownership could not be verified - partition not replicated

In this post, I describe how to fix the error:

The FSMO role ownership could not be verified because its directory partition has not replicated successfully with at least one replication partner.

This error occured when I was trying to promote a server to a domain controller and add a new domain to an existing forest.


Resolution

To resolve the issue:

1. Open Active Directory Sites and Services

2. Navigate down to NTDS Settings for each server, then right click <automatically generated> and press Replicate Now:

3. I was then able to successfully promote the server to a domain controller.
