How to find FSMO Roles Holder Active Directory

In this post, I will look at two ways you can find out which Domain Controller holds the FSMO Roles.

The first option is to use CMD and run it as Administrator, then run the following cmdlet.

NETDOM /Query FSMO

Now let’s go ahead and get the same information using PowerShell by running the following cmdlet.

The first cmdlet will get all the role related to the Active Directory Domain

Get-ADDomain | Select-Object InfrastructureMaster, RIDMaster, PDCEmulator

The Second cmdlet will get all the roles related to Active Directory Forest

Get-ADForest | Select-Object DomainNamingMaster, SchemaMaster

In a next post, I will look at how you can transfer these roles to a different domain controller.
