FSMO Roles have moved after migration failure

Question

Hi All
We tried to migrate our SBS2008 to SBS2011 last night but it failed due to the account we were using not having the 'Logon as Batch' right.
We managed to recover the server but now we're getting the following error...
The FSMO Role Check detected a condition in your environment that is out of compliance with the licensing policy. The Management Server must hold the primary domain controller and domain naming master Active Directory roles. Please move the Active Directory
roles to the Management Server now.
How do we rectify this?
Thanks
====
If I run NETDOM QUERY FSMO it all appears fine for all 5 roles but SBS BPA is reporting...

Hello ,
Try the following steps to seize FSMo roles.
-Click Start, click Run, type ntdsutil in the Open box, and then click OK.
-Type roles, and then press ENTER.
-Type connections, and then press ENTER.
-Type "connect to server servername ", and then press ENTER, where servername is the name of the domain  controller that you want to assign the FSMO role to.
-At the server connections prompt, type q, and then press ENTER.
-Type seize "role" ,
where "role" is the role that you want to seize. For example, to seize the RID master role, type seize rid master. The one exception is for the PDC emulator role, whose syntax is seize pdc, not seize pdc emulator.
-At the fsmo maintenance prompt, type q, and then press ENTER to gain access to the ntdsutil prompt. Type q, and then press ENTER to quit the Ntdsutil utility.
-if still facing same issue ,please take dcdiag and paste. and Active Directory events.
-For dcdiag ,run dcdiag /v >dc.txt
-paste the output of dc.txt.
All the best.
