Where does you change the role in AD FSMO roles?
the server which holds the FSMO role it cna be changed by few methods 1. go to admin option->users and computers -> select domain->rt click fsmo roles gives three tabs of domain fsmo role holder-> change from there. 2 for other roles go to admin option->use site -> forest level roles you can cchange in the properties of each fsmo role holder. 3. NTDS util will help you to see the roles and transfer
Why are FSMO roles needed?
Active Directory in general uses a multimaster scheme for updating the directory databases between domain controllers, there are specific functions that can only be performed on specific domain controllers. These specific functions are assigned to one of the five FSMO roles, (pronounced "fiz-moe roles") which can be assigned to one or more Domain Controllers.
How can you view and manage the PDC Emulator FSMO role holder?
The server which holds the PDC FSMO role it can be viewed by few methods 1. go to admin option->users and computers -> select domain->rt click fsmo roles gives three tabs of domain fsmo role holder. 2 for other roles go to admin option->use site -> forest level roles you can see in the properties of each fsmo role holder. 3.

What is the difference between transferring a fsmo role and seizing one which one should you not seize why?
Seizing an FSMO can be a destructive process and should only be attempted if the existing server with the FSMO is no longer available.If the domain controller that is the Schema Master FSMO role holder is temporarily unavailable, DO NOT seize the Schema Master role.If you are going to seize the Schema Master, you must permanently disconnect the current Schema Master from the network.If you seize the Schema Master role, the boot drive on the original Schema Master must be completely reformatted and the operating system must be cleanly installed, if you intend to return this computer to the network.NOTE: The Boot Partition contains the system files (\System32). The System Partition is the partition that contains the startup files, NTDetect.com, NTLDR, Boot.ini, and possibly Ntbootdd.sys.The Active Directory Installation Wizard (Dcpromo.exe) assigns all 5 FSMO roles to the first domain controller in the forest root domain. The first domain controller in each new child or tree domain is assigned the three domain-wide roles. Domain controllers continue to own FSMO roles until they are reassigned by using one of the following methods:
What two fsmo roles should not reside on the same server?
Infrastructure Master & RID which consists unique ID to SID of all objects in a directory for all domain's in a forest.
What is the functionality called that can only be controlled by one DC at a time although all writable domain controllers use multimaster replication?
FSMO Roles (Flexible Single Master Operations). Also known as Operation Master Roles.
