I would use the export config utility to export the Connection broker configuration, shutdown the old connection broker, build a new connection broker, and import the configuration file. Of course you would probably have to use the same name on the new connection broker.

The following should work, credit goes to markbenson:

C:\WINDOWS\adam><b>dsmgmt</b>

dsmgmt.exe: <b>roles</b>

fsmo maintenance: <b>connections</b>

server connections: <b>connect to server localhost:389</b>

Binding to localhost:389 ...

Connected to localhost:389 using credentials of locally logged on user.

server connections: <b>quit</b>

fsmo maintenance: <b>seize schema master</b>

Attempting safe transfer of schema FSMO before seizure.

FSMO transferred successfully - seizure not required.

Server "localhost:389" knows about 2 roles

Schema - CN=NTDS Settings,CN=MPRYOR-BROKER1$VMwareVDMDS,CN=Servers,CN=Default-First-Site-Name,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,CN={ABD5F73C-F0D0-4BA1-9C1E-D1E4DDECAFEB}

Naming Master - CN=NTDS Settings,CN=MPRYOR-BROKER1$VMwareVDMDS,CN=Servers,CN=Default-First-Site-Name,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,CN={ABD5F73C-F0D0-4BA1-9C1E-D1E4DDECAFEB}

fsmo maintenance: <b>quit</b>

dsmgmt.exe: <b>quit</b>

C:\WINDOWS\adam>

what i am looking to do is ether promote the replica connection broker to the primary
