IMPORTANT : when you designate a new master for one or more FSMO roles, you must ensure that the old server which was the master of these roles will never be reintegrated into your network at the risk of corrupting your Active Directory infrastructure. However, in case of failure of the server which was master for one or more FSMO roles, you will have to obtain the concerned FSMO roles by force. When you want to designate a new master for a FSMO role, it's strongly recommended that you transfer the desired FSMO role when the source and destination domain controllers are accessible.
