What's the difference between transferring a FSMO role and
seizing one? Which one should you NOT seize? Why?

Answer Posted / sheik mohamed syed ali

Seizing an FSMO can be a destructive process and
should only be attempted if the existing server with the
FSMO is no longer available.

If you perform a seizure of the FSMO roles from a DC, you
need to ensure two things:

the current holder is actually dead and offline, and that
the old DC will NEVER return to the network.

If you do an FSMO role Seize and then bring the previous
holder back online, you'll have a problem.

An FSMO role TRANSFER is the graceful movement of
the roles from a live, working DC to another live DC

During the process, the current DC holding the role(s) is
updated, so it becomes aware it is no longer the role holder
