- PDC acts as the time root in forest (w32tm /config /computer:BJDC01.alphabook.com.cn /manualpeerlist:time.windows.com /syncfromflags:manual /update)
- Implement multiple/backup domain controllers (all GCs)
- 2,150,000,000 objects per domain
- FQDN less than 64 characters
FSMO (Flexible single master operation)
5 FSMO roles
- Schema master / Forest level
- To make change Schema in forest (such as Exchange, Lync, SCCM)
- Domain naming master / Forest level
- To add/remove domain in forest
- PDC / Domain level

- RID pool master / Domain level
- Assign RIDs to DCs (500/time)
- Infrastucture master / Domain level
- Objects reference in different domains
