Failed to get the 'fSMORoleOwner' attribute from the object 'LDAP://SERVERNAME

SCOM 2007: Error in ADMP

A customer has imported an ADMP, and soon after running it, he started to get the following error:

AD Replication Monitoring : encountered a runtime error. Failed to obtain the InfrastructureMaster using a well known GUID.

The error returned was: 'Failed to get the 'fSMORoleOwner' attribute from the object 'LDAP://SERVERNAME/'.

The error returned was: 'There is no such object on the server.' (0x80072030)' (0x80072030)

To solve this issue follow the below steps:

1. Run Adsiedit.msc
2. Connect to the DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=xxx,DC=xxx ,DC=xxx partition.
3. Open the properties for the Infrastructure object.
4. Look at the fSMORoleOwner attribute and it is set to CN=NTDSSettings\0ADEL:ed7c8fe9-c5cd-4101-bf57-7468c606a6be,CN=IOWADC4\0ADEL:ecaeecd1-dea1-44ac-9a3c-fb827fd6d085,CN=Servers,CN=Default-First-Site-Name,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=xxx,
DC=xxx
5. If this particular record is set to delete, then remove the above entry and then add the correct attribute for the current FSMO role holder.
