asked on Windows Domain Controllers - Master
Hi All,
I am not really up-to-speed with the changes in 2003 -> 2008 Server domain controllers, I have a mix of both 2003 R2 & 2008 R2, how do I determine which server holds the schema master and must be backed up... I only have one Domain Controller Backup Exec license and know that there is a Primary somewhere....
Sorry to be vague!

Neilsr posted the proper command
netdom query fsmo will help determine what roles each DC holds
Here are some other ways as well

Really all of your Domain Controllers need to be backed up because if you have a DC that falls out of replication you can lose data that was added to this DC. What you should do is backup all DCs. You can do a simple System State backup and keep it on a network drive some where.

Hi All,
Two questions.
1) How do I add the Active Directory Schema snap in.
2) netdom command is not recongised on my server...is this also an add-on?
Cheers
