Question

What is the term for domain and forest functions that must be coordinated from a single domain controller?

Answer 1

In general, all domain controllers in an Active Directory domain are created equal. That is, they all have the ability to both read from and write to the Active Directory database and are essentially interchangeable. However, certain operations within a domain and forest must be centrally coordinated from a single authoritative source. These operations are handled by only one domain controller within the domain and are divided into five distinct operational categories. These categories are referred to as Flexible Single Master Operations (FSMOs).
