Risks of migrating FSMO roles. Are there any risks?

Hi,

are there any risks migrating the fsmo role from a 2008R2 DC to a 2016 DC? Is it possible to do that during our business hours?

Thank you in advance!

Of cause there is. If you move the PDCe, for example, and you cannot actually get to a time server externally you can introduce a time skew into your whole environment

Make sure the DC you move it to is healthy (check SYSVOL too)
