Are you saying...."simulating the procedure in the production environment by seizing the FSMO roles" ? don't do that! use a test environment that is a correct representation of the production environment to do your tests! jorge

Jorge, If we are simulating a DR scenario running the script on the backup FSMO serve in site 2 will not be a problem??

Hi All, Can somebody point me in the right direction as to how to use a scripted solution for seizing the FSMO roles in case of a site failure? What we have is a W2K3 Domain, with two core sites and 60 branch offices. In the case of site 1 failing we want a procedure of activation a script so on the standby DC to seize the FSMO roles. Site 1 1 X DC Sch, Inf, DNM, PDC, GC 1 X DC RID, GC Site 2 1 X DC Standby FSMO role holder, GC 1 X DC GC Regards, Simon List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ This e-mail and any attachment is for authorised use by the intended recipient(s) only.
