Hi ALL! I'm runnig two 2003 DCs in our environment.Both of them are Global Catalog holders, but only one is FSMO holder. What will happen if one of them crashes?Is FSMO roles transfer done automatically to second DC?(so users can authenticate) I know from MS forums, that when I would like to do maintenance of FSMO holder, I have to transfer it manually so I can shutdown the PDC and users can authenticate. What is your opinion about this issue?! Many thanx and Happy New Year !
