FSMO Placement

[Alan Tang]

Hello:

If I have 3 DC at the same location. What is the best practice that
the 5 FSMO can be place? How about the GC?

Schema master
Domain naming master
PDC emulators
RID masters
Infrastructure masters
Global Catalog

Thanks a lot!

If a single domain in a forest then I would make all fsmo roles reside on
your newest hardware and all three be GC's. If a multi-domain model then
the same with the newest hardware and FSMO but don't make the DC with the IM
role a GC.
