How to Quickly check FSMO roles
How to check FSMO roles
Active Directory contains five roles called Flexible Single Master Operation Roles (FSMO), these roles are required for the domain controllers to function correctly. During the first domain controller installation, the FSMO roles are installed automatically.
In most cases they can be left alone, but there are times when they need to be moved such as a failed DC. It is a good idea to be familiar with where the roles are installed in your AD environment, you never know when a disaster will hit. In this post, I will walk through two simple methods for finding the roles. The first method uses the Netdom query tool and the second uses windows GUI mode.
Forest Wide Roles: Schema Master,Domain naming master
Domain Wide Roles: PDC ,RID manager, Infrastructure Master
There are two ways to check the FSMO roles in active directory which are mentioned as below. You will know the details of server which server holds these roles by using below method.
Method #1: Netdom query fsmo command line tool
Method #2: Use the GUI
So, that’s all in this blog. I will meet you soon with next stuff .Have a nice day !!!
