What are FSMO Roles? List them

Answer Posted / rajarr

Flexible Single-Master Operation (FSMO) roles,manage an
aspect of the domain or forest, to prevent conflicts

1.Domain Naming Master, If you want to add a domain to a
forest, the domain?s name must be verifiably unique. The
forest?s Domain Naming Master FSMOs authorize the domain
name operation.

2.Infrastructure Master, When a user and group are in
different domains, a lag can exist between changes to the
user (e.g., a name change) and the user?s display in the
group. The Infrastructure Master of the group?s domain fixes
the group-to-user reference to reflect the change. The
Infrastructure Master performs its fixes locally and relies
on replication to bring all other replicas of the domain up
to date.

3.PDC Emulator,For backward compatibility, one DC in each
Win2K domain must emulate a PDC for the benefit of Windows
NT 4.0 and NT 3.5 DCs and clients.

4.RID Master,The RID Master must be available for you to use
the Microsoft Windows 2000 Resource Kit?s Movetree utility
to move objects between domains.

5.Schema Master,At the heart of Active Directory (AD) is the
schema, which is like a blueprint of all objects and
containers. Because the schema must be the same throughout
the forest, only one machine can authorize schema modifications.
