server 2016 domain controller transfer FMSO rolls

Needing to move an old 2008 R2 DC to new 2016 standard.
We have 2, DC's.
DC1 - 2008 R2
DC2 - 2012 R2
Made a new DC 2016 Standard, fully licensed, installed roles and features, added to domain.

Needing to move all FSMO roles to 2016 DC. Issue is, when attempting to use the Snap-In for AD Schema or other Snap-ins to move the roles, when needing to select the new DC, it is not in the list of servers. It is only showing the current 2 we have.
When attempting to do this through the Run > ntdsutil , when entering the new DC name to connect too to transfer the rolls, I am getting a Syntex error.

When I look at the AD settings, I see all 2 DC listed, the new DC has the AD forest and fully populated. Can login with my domain user account. My account is a member of Enterprise Admins and Schema Admins.

I was able to complete the requested task, thank you for that.
Completed moving Schema Master and Domain naming master using the Snap-in while on DC1. Attempting to move the other 3 FSMO roles using ntdsutil.exe
Upon entering the new DC name for server connection: -Invalid Syntax, the dc name is DI-DC01. How do i correct this, it seems it does not like the - in the name.

Sorted it out!, I was not typing out fully, "connect to server DI-DC01" at the prompt section. I am able to fully transfer all the roles now. Thank you very much for assisting with this issue. Great appreciated Patrick!
