Valid point. But you should [try and] restore from the backup that ran the
night before and that you verified successfully completed before you applied
the patch... ;-)
If you have a document process that goes through the proper change control,
then there shouldn't be any reason to do this. The patches should be tested
in dev and pre-prod and then applied, only if there's a rollback option, and
that should be something like "uninstall patch; restore from last night's
successful back if unable to boot and uninstall".

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! ;-)

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