Deploy and manage AD DS

Your network includes an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) forest. The forest has a root domain named contoso.com and a child domain named branch.contoso.com. The forest includes the domain controllers shown in the following table.

You find that cross-domain object references in contoso.com do not update for objects in branch.contoso.com.

You need to change the FSMO role placement while minimizing administrative changes. What should you do?

Explanation

The Infrastructure Master in each domain updates that domain’s references to objects in other domains. In a multidomain forest, if not all domain controllers in contoso.com are Global Catalog servers, its Infrastructure Master must run on a non-Global Catalog server; otherwise it does not update cross-domain references. Transferring the contoso.com Infrastructure Master role from DC1 to DC2 resolves the issue with a single role change.
