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.
What else can I help you with?
How do you find FSMO roles in domain?
try this command netdom query fsmo (it will show FSMO roles in current Domain) netdom query fsmo /d:Domain FQDN (It will show FSMO roles in other domain mentioned after /d:
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
What FSMO roles is participating in replication?
There is no releation between FSMO roles and replication. However Infrastructure master role replicate the cross domain group membership changes.
Who has FSMO roles by default?
First Domain controller in the forest
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. NTDS util will help you to see the roles.
How many of each of the fsmo roles can you have?
haw many of each of the roles can I have, per domain, per forest?
What are the two forest level FSMO roles?
Domain naming master - rid
What roles work together to enable the multimaster functionality of active directory?
FSMO
What are the FSMO roles?
FSMO stands for the Flexible single Master Operation, there are 5 types of FSMO Schema Master Domain Naming Master Infrastructure Master Remote ID Master(RID) PDC Emulator Regards Anil Mahapatra
What FSMO placement considerations do you know of?
Windows 2000/2003 Active Directory domains utilize a Single Operation Master method called FSMO (Flexible Single Master Operation), as described in Understanding FSMO Roles in Active Directory. In most cases an administrator can keep the FSMO role holders (all 5 of them) in the same spot (or actually, on the same DC) as has been configured by the Active Directory installation process. However, there are scenarios where an administrator would want to move one or more of the FSMO roles from the default holder DC to a different DC. Windows Server 2003 Active Directory is a bit different than the Windows 2000 version when dealing with FSMO placement. In this article I will only deal with Windows Server 2003 Active Directory, but you should bear in mind that most considerations are also true when planning Windows 2000 AD FSMO roles
What is a domain FSMO user for?
In windows server 2000/2003 used single master replication to specify roles to domain or forest.This is called FSMO(Flexible Single Master Operation) roles or Master operation roles.It has classified in to five types schema master domain naming master. PDC emulator Relative identifier Infrastructure master. By Senthil
What is a Forest Wide FSMO role?
A Forest Wide FSMO (Flexible Single Master Operation) role is a specific function in Active Directory that is responsible for certain critical tasks across the entire forest, as opposed to being limited to a single domain. There are five FSMO roles in total, with the Forest Wide roles being the Schema Master and the Domain Naming Master. The Schema Master manages changes to the Active Directory schema, while the Domain Naming Master oversees the addition and removal of domains within the forest. These roles are essential for maintaining the integrity and structure of the Active Directory environment.
