FSMO (Flexible Single Master Operation)

FSMO, or Flexible Single Master Operations, are specialized roles within a Windows Server network that ensure important tasks are handled efficiently and without conflict. These roles manage critical functions like updating unique directory information and controlling certain network processes, preventing data conflicts or inconsistencies. By assigning specific roles to designated servers, FSMO roles streamline network management and maintain overall stability. Since these roles are unique, only particular servers can perform these tasks, reducing the risk of errors in the network's directory and services.
