moving schema master

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.active_directory (More info?)

The schema master doesn't usually have much work to do so you can probably
move it to any server you want although it is often a good design principle
not to have anything but Exchange running on your Exchange servers. If the
server crashes, you will be too busy worrying about email to do any schema
updates!

You cannot have more than one schema master in a forest, if the server
crashes and has to be rebuilt, you can use ntdsutil to seize the role to
another server. If the server crashes and can be repaired, just leave it
alone as access to the schema master is not required for day-to-day
operations.
