The whole concept of &quot;Primary Domain Controllers&quot; are long gone assuming you are using Server 2008/2012. You can assign roles to specific domain controllers in a forest as you please, as long as they have connectivity to all clients.

What functional domain level do you have? If it is 2008 or above, yes, you can transfer the roles to different servers.

Doubt about FSMO and main domain controller.

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.
