I would like to know what FSMO roles

Asked By jessielucyy 30 points N/A Posted on - 10/29/2012

Hello,

I would like to know what FSMO roles are and what would happen if one role has failed. Automatically, who are assigned as FSMO? Would there be a difference in transferring and seizing an FSMO role? Please explain what role should we avoid seizing and why. 

Waiting for inputs.

I would like to know what FSMO roles

Hi,

 

I understand that you want to know how to use Flexible Single Master Operations (FSMO) and its roles. At least five FSMO roles are being assigned to one or more domain controllers in a forest. The roles include: Schema Master, Domain naming master, Infrastructure Master, Relative ID (RID) Master and PDC Emulator. To learn about transferring and seizing an FSMO role coupled with the role to avoid seizing click the link below:

I hope I have helped you.
