Best place for the FSMO roles?

-

hello,

we moving buildings , have 2 domain controllers in building , 75% of our company staff.  in new building there 2 nee dc's , decommission 2 dc's on our old building i've moved fsmo roles our remote datacenter.  it make me think should fsmo roles closes bulk of users , should move them again our new site?

thanks 

the 3 domain-based fsmo roles (pdc emulator, rid master, infrastructure master) happiest bulk of users live, due more highly transactional nature of these roles, more operations other 2 roles.  the other two, schema master , domain naming master invoked, , can exist in location away bulk of users.

best regards, todd heron | active directory consultant
