You can assign FSMO roles to whatever DC you want, so as long as you have multiple DCs you could easily have one without any FSMO roles.

I'm reading up on virtualizing domain controllers and found this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888794 It says, in part: "We recommend that you locate critical server roles on domain controllers that are installed directly on physical hardware. Critical server roles include the following: * Global catalog servers * Domain Name System (DNS) servers * Operations master roles, also known as flexible single master operations (FSMO)" How do you have a domain controller that doesn't have a FSMO role associated with it?
