If they are only going to be down for 2
hours at a time I would leave the roles where they are.

Subject: [ActiveDir] FSMO role
transfer
We have two DC's, one which holds the Forest FSMO roles, the other
which holds the domain FSMO roles.
I plan to take each server down at different times so that one
of the two servers can provide authentication etc while the other
gets maintained.
Initially, I was planning on moving the FSMO roles to the other DC
while maintainance work is carried out and transferring it back once it's
online again. I would then do the same for the other DC.
I was then told that you don't need to move the FSMO roles when
you perform maintenance on a DC holding the roles. Each server
will be down for about 2hrs.
Does anyone have advice for me? I would like to move the roles for
peace of mind knowing they are available, but if I don't need to do that, I
won't bother
Is there any recommended practice?
