Best Practice for FSMO Roles, DNS, DHCP
More or less looking for advice/opinions.
We have a server that we pretty much can't rely on as it BSODs with "registry errors" upon any login attempt at the console or through RDP. Other than that it functions, but that just isn't sitting right. This server happens to have all 5 FSMO roles, DHCP for our main office and is our Primary DNS. Which are all still functioning and manageable through snap-ins, RSET, etc.
It's a 2008 R2 box and we are just a single domain/forest. So I know I'm good to transfer all FSMO roles to another 2008 R2 DC. But what is everyone thoughts for DHCP and DNS? This just seems like an example of why you wouldn't want all this stuff on one box when you have the option of spreading them out. And any trouble with having any of these roles virtualized? Thanks for the thoughts.
