[Nejmos Saqeb]

Greetings,

I've 2 Domain Controllers (of Windows Server 2003) in a same forest. I want
to know what is the best practice for the placement of FSMO rules on these
2 domain controllers.

Thanking You.

For a 2 DC network, put the two forest wide roles on one DC (Schema Master,
Domain Naming Master) and put the three domain wide roles on the second.
Also make sure both DC's are a Global Catalogue.
