I have 4 Sites. Site A holds 5 Domain Controllers and one of which holds all FSMO roles. Site B has 1 DC. Site C has 1 DC, and site D has 1 DC. Site A is composed of 4 buildings interconnected with 1000MB Fiber if you were wondering why so many DC's. What would be the best way to Distribute the FSMO roles in this DOMAIN if one DC having all 5 roles is not the best.
