there's no problem moving the FSMO roles to your DC in A in
a working environment - no need to move the hardware, unless you have other
requirements to do so. you can easily move the roles via NTDSutil or via
various UIs (ADUC, AD Domains & Trusts, Schema Manager) if you
preferr.
_should_ you move the roles to site A? Depends if you
will have IP connectivity from Site C to B or not - if not, you _have_ to move
it, as the DCs in C will at least need to reach the RID master at least.
If you do have connectivity, your motivations for moving the roles may simply be
less dependency on the nw link between A + B.
/Guido From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Travis Riddle Sent: Dienstag, 22. Juni 2004 22:47 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Moving FSMO RH to another site I was wondering if anyone had any
experience/advice that they would be kind enough to share J Our current environment includes 2
sites. Lets call them Site A and
Site B. We will be adding Site C
soon. Site B has the first DC/GC and FSMO
RH along with our first exchange server and a second DC/GC. Site A has a GC and exchange server.
Site C will have a GC along with an
Exchange server as well. We will also be setting up a front-end Exchange server
at Site A. We have network connections from
Site A to B and A to C, but not from B to C. The reason for this is there is a point
to point from Site A to B, and A to C has a VPN connection. You might think that we could just add
another internet connection and just VPN all around, but current location limits
that possibility. What we have is
currently what we get. Since Site A will be the main “hub”
I thought that we should probably move the FSMO RH to Site A for replication
purposes. Am I justified in my
thinking? Will this even make a
difference? Are we asking for more
trouble than it is worth? Will I
run into any problems moving the server from one site to the other (both in AD
and physically obviously)? Please let me know and thank you for
your time, Travis |
