To Check FSMO Roles from DC

Flexible Single Master Operations specialized domain controller roles, how to check if you have multiple DCs - a quick glimpse

From command prompt:

Sync all Domain Controllers

Using Command Prompt from DC:

repadmin /syncall /APeD

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The flags in the following list are supported.

• /a Aborts, if any server is unavailable.

• /A Synchronizes all naming contexts that are held on the home server.

• /d Identifies servers by distinguished name in messages.

• /e Synchronizes domain controllers across all sites in the enterprise. By default, this command does not synchronize domain controllers in other sites.

• /h Displays Help.

• /i Iterates indefinitely.

• /I Runs the repadmin /showrepl command on each server pair in the path instead of synchronizing.

• /j Synchronizes adjacent servers only.

• /p Pauses after every message to allow the user to abort the command.

• /P Pushes changes outward from the specified domain controller.

• /q Runs in quiet mode, which suppresses call back messages.

• /Q Runs in very quiet mode, which reports fatal errors only.

• /s Does not synchronize.

• /S Skips the initial server response check.
