RE: [ActiveDir] FMSO roles split, patch question.

This will be one of the rare occassions I disagree with Jorge. I see no usefulness in this ping pong exercise. DC dies in the process of patching and it is the one holding a specific FSMO role. So what? Just seize the role and wipe the server and do your cleanup and reinstall.

Due dilligence is to test your patches and ensure that they don't take your servers/infrastructure down before you proceed with deploying them on your live environment.

the reason is that is a DC dies during the patching you do not have to seize the roles....IMHO, I prefer transfering over seizing

I cornfused is this a standard practice as I thought you did not want to move the FMSO roles back and forth.

in addition to that....

DC1 having FSMOset1 and DC2 having FSMOset2

transfer FSMOset1 from DC1 to DC2

apply patches to DC1 and reboot and check everything (event logs DCdiag, etc)

if everything OK!

transfer FSMOset1 and FSMOset2 from DC2 to DC1

apply patches to DC2 and reboot and check everything (event logs DCdiag, etc)

if everything OK!

transfer FSMOset2 from DC1 to DC2

voila (that's french)...done! ;-)

We have our FMSO roles split between 2 dc's. They are Schema Master/Domain Tree Operator on 1 and on 2, the roles PDC Emulator/Rid Pool/Intrastate on the other. After I apply the patches from Microsoft what is the beat practices for the boot order...or does it matter?

1. Remote DC/GC's first

2. no. 1

3. then no 2.

thanks
