PDC 2003 SBS Removed from Domain and 2008 R2 SDC cannot assume role.


i have tried active directory schema transfer , "the schema fsmo not found" error.  did netdom query fsmo , got: c:\users\administrator.lit1>netdom query fsmo
schema master                   lr1.lit1.local
domain naming master        lr1.lit1.local
pdc                                   lr1.lit1.local
rid pool manager               lr1.lit1.local
infrastructure master          lr1.lit1.local
command completed successfully.

this lr1 server off domain , has been wiped.  how can sdc take on ad , become pdc?
