# title: AD FSMO Roles
# description: This PowerShell function returns a list of the Active Directory FSMO role holders for one or more Active Directory domains and forests. This function depends on the Active Directory module, specifically the Get-ADDomain and Get-ADForest cmdlets. This module can either be installed locally, via the Remote Server Administration Tools or imported via Implicit remoting prior to running this function. More information about this function can be found on my blog site: http://mikefrobbins.com/2013/04/11/use-powershell-to-find-where-the-current-fsmo-roles-are-assigned-in-active-directory/
