Hi I have two domain controllers and I did not build
them. Is there a way to tell which one is the schema
master and which one is the infrastructure master?

Thanks,

Frank
 
Open "Active Directory Users and Computers". Right click domain name, click
"operations master". You can see and xfer Infrastructure, PDC and RID master
roles from there.

For Schema Master, you have to take little longer path.

Open MMC. Add Active Directory Schema snap-in. Right click AD Schema in
console when loaded and click "operations master". You can see and change
schema master from there.

HTH.
 
Another option is to install the Support Tools ( which I would strongly
suggest ) and use netdom query fsmo. This is a quick way. The MMCs are
good as well. There are also several other tools that are included in the
Support Tools that will do this for you.

The Support Tools are located on the WIN2000 Server CD as well as on the
WIN2000 Service Pack CD in the Support | Tools folder.

HTH,

Cary
 
It also is good idea to include this in server build procedures. That is
what we usually do. Since Support Tools offers many utilites useful for
troubleshooting and other tasks, we don't want to install it on server when
needed, it's good to have it installed with server build.
