Wenn in einer Active Directory Domain mit mehreren Domain Controller die Server mit den FSMO Rollen schnell gefunden werden sollen, gibt es dazu ein einfaches cmdlet. Dazu muss ein Command Prompt geöffnet und folgenden Befehl ausgeführt werden: netdom query fsmo

Administrative Rechte sind für diesen Vorgang erforderlich.

Sysinternals, die Microsoft Tool Suite von Mark Russinovic, hat ein Tool zum Betrachten des Active Directory veröffentlicht. Mit dem Active Directory Explorer lassen zum, im Gegensatz zu integrierten Management Console, Suchkombinationen abzuspeichern und später wieder aufzurufen.

AD Explorer

Active Directory Explorer (AD Explorer) is an advanced Active Directory (AD) viewer and editor. You can use AD Explorer to easily navigate an AD database, define favorite locations, view object properties and attributes without having to open dialog boxes, edit permissions, view an object’s schema, and execute sophisticated searches that you can save and re-execute.

AD Explorer also includes the ability to save snapshots of an AD database for off-line viewing and comparisons. When you load a saved snapshot, you can navigate and explorer it as you would a live database. If you have two snapshots of an AD database you can use AD Explorer’s comparison functionality to see what objects, attributes and security permissions changed between them.
