By definition the FSMO roles are limited to one DC in the forest or in the domain. So if you have more than one DC per domain, most likely one has all the FSMO roles and the others do not.

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?
