FSMO Role Placement
  • Domain-level FSMO roles on one domain controller
  • Place this domain controller in site with most
    users.
  • Designate a stand-by domain controller to host
    FSMO roles in case the selected domain controller
    fails.
  • If all domain controllers are hosting the global
    catalog, you can leave all domain-level roles on
    the original (first) domain controller.

DOCUMENTING THE DESIGN
  • Site topology
  • Domain controller planning
  • Domain controller placement

SUMMARY
  • When designing the site structure, you should
    know the company geography, WAN links, and link
    speed as well as link utilization statistics.
  • Sites are used to control Active Directory
    replication, DFS, FRS, and logon traffic.
  • Placing a domain controller in a site allows you
    to cut down on WAN utilization. As long as that
    benefit outweighs the burden of replication
    traffic and management, it is a good approach.

24
SUMMARY (continued)
  • Site links are logical objects that represent
    physical connectivity. You can use site link
    bridges, costs, and site schedules to control
    intersite replication.
  • FSMO role placement rules.
