Active Directory Error: "The module "schmmgmt.dll" loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80040201"

 

 Today i am trying to trasfer the FSMO role to one of my other test domain controller. All the roles trasfered successfully except Schema Master role.

When i am trying to register the Active Directory Schema Snap-in, i got the following error "The module "schmmgmt.dll" loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80040201"

What is this error and why it is generated ??

This is not a critical error, it is due to User Account Control (UAC) limiting to initiate the command successfully.

We  need to run the command from an elevated command prompt to register the Snap-in successfully.

Here the User Account Control (UAC) might be limited our capability even we logged on using an account that is a member of the Schema Admins group. we need to login or start an elevated command prompt using an account that is a member of the Schema Admins group and the command completes successfully.
